After a rough year, the ODU Women's soccer team has put up quite a fight. With both wins and losses, the team has pulled through with their heads held high. They have done well and accomplished so much. Knowing a few players on the team myself, I have discussed with a few of them their future plans with ODU and soccer in general.
One player I know personally and live with, Kelsey Williams, who has been on the team for four years has just finished up her last season for the Monarchs. She plans on continuing her studies at ODU but not to play soccer for them. As some of her team mates continue to play, others are moving on to bigger and better things. Kelsey plans on playing as much as she can just not on the team. She has a lot of friends on both the Men's and Women's team, so she has a lot of fun kicking the ball around in her spare time.
For some ODU soccer was just a milestone in their soccer careers. After talking with a few of them, I can automatically tell which ones plan on taking their careers further and which ones were doing it just for the fun and exercise. No matter what the reason, they all worked hard and represented ODU respectably.
