Bio

You were one of two women’s soccer players to come to Olivet from Hobe Sound, Florida and earn a varsity letter each year. You also played four years of tennis.

In soccer, you quickly excelled. As a freshman and sophomore, you scored five goals and four assists each year. You were named to the All-MIAA second-team and voted the team’s most valuable player. As a junior, you scored 11 goals and tallied five assists. You earned first-team All-MIAA honors and were named the team’s MVP for a third straight year.

During your senior season, you had 25 goals and eight assists for 58 points. Your scoring helped Olivet advance to the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional for the first time in school history. For your efforts, you earned first-team All-MIAA honors and team co-MVP honors.

At the time of your graduation, you were Olivet’s career leader with 46 goals, 21 assists and 103 points. You also still hold the single-game school record with 5 goals and 12 points.

After graduating from Olivet, you continued with the game of soccer. You played one year professionally with the Kalamazoo Quest before embarking on a coaching career. You served as head women’s soccer coach at Urbana University (Ohio) and University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown (Pa.), and as assistant women’s soccer coach at University of Findlay (Ohio). Currently, you are the head women’s soccer coach at West Virginia University Institute of Technology.

Olivet honors you and is proud to induct you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame this 11th day of September, 2010.
