Graduation Day

Congratulations to our teammate, Anna, who on Saturday, graduates from Radford University with many distinctions (read more about the university here). Anna has used her full scholarship to obtain a B.A., with a double major (German, Poly Sci) and a double minor (Econ, Int'l Affairs).

Despite playing four years of Division I soccer, itself a full-time job, she took roughly 18 credits per semester. She managed to squeeze in a semester abroad in Germany, where she polished the German she heard growing up - she is now fluent in the language. She's moving to DC next week to begin her career in a paid position at a local nonprofit dealing in management and infrastructure in developing countries. We'll get to see her even more now.

Throughout her time in college, Anna played Goalie for the Lady Highlanders. Check out her bio on the Radford Athletic Department page by clicking on Roster, then player profiles. Her Junior year in particular, she tore it up, leading the team in minutes and gaining 3 shut outs (not to mention making the conference all-academic team). Your captain and his wife saw Anna in action in a dominant win by Radford versus Howard U this past Fall.

We've only known Anna for a year, but it's been a great year.

Congratulations!
