COACH VAN DE KERKHOF SAYS
"Sarah has become a strong player thanks to the coaching of Jill Cosse and Ahmed Elmaghraby and the commitment she made to herself during her years in middle and high school. I have seen her performance abilities and am looking forward to seeing her bring that to the next level at Delaware!”
WHY DELAWARE?
"I have always admired the University of Delaware’s great academic and athletic reputation. I fell in the love with UD immediately after stepping foot on its beautiful campus. After touring the athletic facilities and meeting the field hockey team and coaches, I knew the field hockey program was something I wanted to be a part of. There is a wide variety of majors which allows me to expand my field of knowledge."
