Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh because it offers a great balance between academics and athletics. I’ll be playing soccer at a very high and competitive level along with receiving a top-notch education. The campus is beautiful and the team and coaching staff make me feel right at home.”
AS A SENIOR (Spring, 2021): Played in five of Lehigh’s six games, starting them all on the Mountain Hawks’ back line … Received the Coaches Award, presented to the player who is selfless in her actions and may go unnoticed by others … Part of Lehigh’s defense, which finished fourth in the Patriot League in goals against average (0.60) … Mountain Hawks allowed just four goals in six games, including three shutouts – tied for first in the league.
AS A JUNIOR (2019): Saw action in 10 games at defense before missing the rest of the season due to injury … Part of a defense that was second in the Patriot League in goals against average (0.89) and shutouts (8), allowing just 16 goals in 18 games … Named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
AS A SOPHOMORE (2018): Played in 19 games, with 17 starts at both defense and midfield … Recorded five shots, two on goal … Finished with five shots, two on goal … Had shots on goal in the Patriot League Championship Game at Boston University (11/4) and Quarterfinals at Bucknell (10/30) … Also tallied shots vs. Army West Point (9/15), at Towson (9/12) and at Villanova (8/26).
AS A FRESHMAN (2017): Strong freshman campaign as a key contributor on Lehigh’s back line … Played in 17-of-18 games, starting 13 and tallying two shots (one on goal) … Part of the Mountain Hawks’ defense which allowed 12 goals in 18 games, the exact same mark as the year prior … Lehigh’s 0.67 GAA led the Patriot League and its 12 goals allowed were six fewer than anyone else in the league … Lehigh pitched nine shutouts to increase its total to 21 since the beginning of 2016, among the best marks in the nation and just one shy of the most combined shutouts in consecutive seasons in program history (22 from 2004-05) … Pitched league shutouts against Army West Point, Boston University, American, Lafayette, Loyola and Holy Cross …Returned to starting lineup for regular season finale vs. Holy Cross (10/28) and Patriot League Quarterfinals at Colgate (10/31) … Fired a shot on goal vs. American (10/7) … Tallied first-career start vs. Boston University (9/23) … Named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
