Sophomore (2010):

After missing the early part of the season due to injury, Kaiser emerged as a key contributor to an Emory defense that recorded a 0.56 goals-against average, the 23rd-lowest mark among NCAA Division III teams during the year. Opponents averaged just 4.1 shots on goal per game against the Eagles' defense, including 11 games of three shots on goal or less.  Kaiser appeared in 15 games for Emory during the campaign, starting the last 13 in the backfield.  She added her first-career point on an assist on the game-winning goal at Brandeis University on October 17th, and kicked a key penalty kick during the shootout of Emory's tie against Wheaton College (Ill.), helping the Eagles advance to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.  Kaiser was named the University Athletic Association's Defensive Player of the Week on November 15th, after helping hold Emory's first two opponents of the NCAA Tournament to a combined eight shots, only four of which were on goal.  She took six shots during the year, two of which were on goal.

Freshman (2009):

Kaiser played in 17 games for the Emory defense during her freshman year, making 10 starts.  She was part of an Eagles' backline which helped the team hold a 168-93 advantage in shots on goal during the season, while recording a 1.14 goals against average.  Kaiser started each of the final six games of the season for Emory.

Quote:

"I decided to attend Emory because of its tradition for excellence, both academically and athletically.  The mild climate and close proximity to home strengthened my decision, not to mention the beautiful campus and great opportunities in Atlanta."
