COACH VAN DE KERKHOF SAYS
“Eve's development as a goalkeeper from her freshman year in high school to where she is now is truly remarkable. She takes joy in padding up, learning and pushing herself to get better during every possible hockey moment. As a goalie, you need to be patient, level-headed, confident and communicative, and Eve displays these traits in spades."
WHY DELAWARE?
"The school, academic programs, coaching staff and team really felt like the right fit."
