The Essence of JMU Soccer • We tied a top three school, Maryland, 0-0, which showed how much heart we had. - Kelly Abt (‘15) • Watch “Bridesmaids” and popular YouTube videos and you’ll fit in! - Becky Sparks (‘14) • Whenever we go on away trips and someone on the team lives close, the parents will host a dinner. This is so enjoyable because we get to hang out and eat a home-cooked meal. It shows how dedicated everyone, including the parents, is to JMU soccer. It’s always a great time and relaxing. - Dana O’Brien (‘13) • When we were down 3-1 to Hofstra, we all fought hard and tied it 3-3 and won it 4-3 in overtime. To do something like that takes a lot of heart and a lot of spirit. - Katie Hyland (‘15) • Before each game, after the coaches give us a pregame talk, all the girls come together and say a chant that gets us pumped up for the game and reminds us that we are a team and a family. - Ellen Forrest (‘15) • We have a team donkey that the coach gives to the player who has done or said the dumbest thing. The donkey is passed around throughout the season and sometimes the coach is even the donkey recipient. - Stephanie Hamilton (‘15) • We sing and play funny games to get us through the 10-15 minute freezing cold ice baths required in preseason. - Olivia Tomoff (‘14) • We make many hilarious team videos. -- Sam Lofton (‘12)
