Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

Coaches: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play college soccer. I was able to experience the best four years of my life. I have learned so much these past four years from you guys on the field and off the field. Thank you for preparing me for life and maturing me for the real world. I sure am going to miss this team and I blessed to have been on it these past four years. Thank you for everything.
    
Seniors: Even though there are now 5 seniors. I want to thank all 12 originals for being my first friends in college, and being the reason I stuck with soccer these past four years. You guys are not only teammates to me, but sisters. You all have been there for the laughs, the tears, and have always pushed me to reach my full potential on and off the field.
    
Aubrie and Bridgett: Thank you for being my rocks through it all, from making sure I am awake on game days to not letting me wear the wrong shirt for practice. I have cherished these four years with you both and the love of the game has brought us so much closer than I could have ever imagined. Bridge, I will never forget the first time I met you, I thought you were trying out for the wrong team, aka I thought you were a volleyball player. Aubrie I will never forget when you wanted me to call you bre, and I knew that would never stick. Thank you for being my cuddle buddies when I’ve needed you the most and making sure I always have a smile on my face. Ah great I’m crying. I love you both more than you will ever know and I know this isn’t it, but man it sure is going to be weird not waking up with you guys every morning and rushing to the bus for game day. Xoxo always.
    
Anna: You are so important to me that I can’t even put it in to words. You know how to make feel better by doing the simplest of things. You have ALWAYS been there for me and have helped me through so much. You were my rock these past four years and I can’t thank you enough for that. You are so strong and I admire you for that. You have so much to offer this world and I don’t want anyone to ever tell you different. I can’t wait to see what you do in life, and when you become a cop you better not pull me over. I have never met someone with such a big heart and always willing to drop everything to help another person. I will always be here for you no matter what I can’t wait to see where life takes us. Thank you for being my best friend, teammate, and sister. You will always be by my Bugs and I love you so much. Xoxo.

Juniors: I will never forget when your class came in I couldn’t keep any of your names straight. It took me about… 2 weeks. You all brought so much spunk to the team, and I hold each of my relationships with you close to my heart. Hold the family together next year and live in all the moments you can because soon the firsts will become your lasts. I can’t wait to see all of you succeed in life and I promise I will be back to watch you all play your senior year. I love you all so much and I will always be a phone call away if you need anything. Xoxo always.
