Magalhães on why UNM:  In short, the best decision I’ve ever made. They were incredible to me, they have an extraordinary and comfortable environment where I can be myself, and the coaches, the entire staff are so friendly. Not to mention some of the teammates I met, they were incredible to me! And in the end, after seeing “THE PIT” I fell in love immediately.
