Russian Golfer Sofya Anokhina sits down and chats with Global Sports Channel’s Tasha Danvers. Sofya walks us through the journey of coming from Russia to the USA and all about her late decision to find a school in the US. The outwardly passionate and focused woman tells us all about finding a college, and how important the school’s colors were.
