“Fuzz” Izzy Paulsen ’21

Paulsen has been called ‘Fuzz’ ever since she could remember, but the reason for it is still unknown.

“Ever since I can remember, my dad has called me ‘Fuzz’. Neither of us know the reason, that’s just what he calls me. When my parents cheer for me while I’m playing they call me ‘Fuzz’, which then spread to my teammates and their parents,” Paulsen said. “It’s less used now, coach Scott calls me ‘Iz’, but my club teammates, coach Panther and a few people at West will always know me as ‘Fuzz.’”
