COACH VAN DE KERKHOF SAYS
“Although Kathryn wasn't in the position to play her senior season, she used that year to grow her development as a player by becoming a student coach and working on her tactical and game understanding. I am excited that she will be in a position to showcase that on the field with the Blue Hens as she will bring a different perspective which will help her classmates in their transition."

WHY DELAWARE?
"I fell in love with the University of Delaware the minute I stepped on campus. I really liked the coaches and players as well as how I feel at home when I'm there. UD also has an excellent Pre-Veterinary program and a very competitive and talented field hockey team - two things I've always dreamed being part of."
