Kiersten Kennedy '22 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for your time. I am seeking to play this great sport and be a part of a soccer family that works hard together to earn success on the field. I want to push myself to play at the highest level while earning my degree in a Pharm D program. I hope to compete with and against a tight knit group of ladies working together to become the best we can be and win championships.

When I first started playing soccer, I had no idea it would become such a passion in my life. Seeing the way soccer is a lifestyle in Barcelona, makes me want that passion of the sport here in the United States.  I am a very competitive and dedicated person, willing to train harder and longer than any of my teammates so to accomplish any individual or team goals. I'm a quick learner who is very coachable, able to learn new patterns and formations quickly.  I truly love playing out wide in the midfield or up front so we can use our width to open up defenses and “create” scoring opportunities not just dump and run soccer.
