WHY LEHIGH? “It’s the perfect mix of academic and athletic rigor. I wanted a school that would push me to be both the best student I could be, and the best soccer player I could be. Lehigh was it!”
AS A SENIOR (2018): Played in a career-high three games, recording a 2.76 goals against average and 0.571 save percentage … Won the Coaches Award at annual end-of-year banquet … Finished with four saves, allowing three goals … Got into Senior Night game vs. archrival Lafayette (10/13) … Saw action at Villanova (8/26) … Played second half of home opener vs. defending NEC Regular Season Champion Fairleigh Dickinson, stopping all four shots sent her way for the win.
AS A JUNIOR (2017): Got into one game, posting a 2.00 goals against average and 0.500 save percentage … Played in the second half at UMBC (9/18), stopping 1-of-2 shots sent her way.

Thoughts on Lehigh Coaching Staff (Coach Lambinus): Coach Lambinus is a coach that I see myself getting much better under, because he’s one of the most honest and experienced coaches I’ve ever met, so I know that he’ll tell me what I need to do in order to improve and be successful.
