Coach Bryant on Schmidt…
“Katie’s path to the SNC team is pretty unique and inspiring. I have had the pleasure of knowing her and her family since her middle school years and have witnessed her commitment to the sport and continual work towards her goals despite many obstacles along the way. Her resilience and overall effort will set a great example for the team and I am certain she will be a strong addition to our defenders position group.”
