"Being part of the Emory soccer program has been a truly satisfying experience for me. Whether it's teammates, coaches, or staff, everyone is focused on helping the team achieve success on the field and develop as individuals off the field. Emory soccer has been so integral to my college experience that I can't imagine what college would have been like without it."
