Matas Cyvas,

Illinois Wesleyan soccer

1. Name: Matas Cyvas

2. Hometown: Downers Grove

3. Sport: Soccer

4. Position: Centerback

5. Favorite class: Financial Accounting. I usually study psychology, so accounting is an entirely new world to me.

6. Post-college aspirations: Most likely attend graduate school, but in which area I still have to figure out. Psychology or Business Administration. If all goes well, have a large family, too, five kids if possible.

7. Best restaurant in B-N: Avanti’s. They give the most food.

8. Sport I’m worst at: Definitely golf. Just not my game.

9. In my spare time, I: Play guitar, listen to a lot of music, eat a lot of food, and I should read more.

10. Favorite quote: “I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts. The rest are details.” — Albert Einstein

11. Who would you put on the $100 bill? Fred Astaire

12. What kind of animal would you be: My friends would answer that I’d be a dinosaur because I apparently look like one.

13. Most influential figure in your life? My father. I’ve learned what true love through sacrifice and hard work is by watching him.

14. Most influential figure in history? Jesus

15. If you could, what food would you put in an IV drip? Steak and potatoes.

16. What is your pregame ritual? I pray a rosary, tape my chains to my wrist, tape my ring to my finger, and drink a lot of water. Then when the game starts I just let go and stop thinking.

17. You’re road tripping and you stop at gas station. What’s your snack of choice? Chili Cheese Fritos

18. I need a Dummies Guide To: Figuring out what to do with my life

19. I could write a Dummies Guide To: Being a second generation Lithuanian-American who speaks, writes, and reads in his native language.

20. Favorite athlete (who does not play soccer): Michael Jordan. I grew up watching the greatest basketball player. His poise in the biggest games and his ability to hit the big shot at the end was remarkable. I don’t think any other player will come close to having as big an impact on the game.

Next week: ISU’s Bethany Russ
