Kaitlyn Zook

Title:
Student Assistant Coach

WHY DELAWARE?
"The University of Delaware appealed to me because they strive to have academics as an important part of their name. Not only that, but their field hockey program has become one of the top in the country. I love not only the philosophy of the program, but also how close-knit the team is. The players and coaches are constantly encouraging each other to thrive on and off the field. The sense of school pride shining from the team, community, and alumni is incredible."
