It's Every Day

Stacy Sykora is a self-proclaimed addict of McDonald's food. "I eat it three times a day when I can," she said. "We'll be on a trip to Japan or China or somewhere, and if the team spots a McDonald's, they all start screaming for me. And I'll drag people a mile to go eat at one."


Quote

On her do-all position of Libero, Sykora tells the Boston Globe, "I get hit in the face a lot," she said. "I think I've probably had about five concussions. I guess I should worry about that, but I don't."
