"Jackie played just two games her freshman year due to a season ending injury, but she has been our starting goalkeeper thereon. She epitomizes this team's spirit with a ‘can do’ attitude and has raised the bar for future student-athletes here at Mount Saint Mary College. Her leadership is apparent on and off the field and is a major reason why this team has achieved success in recent years."
Mount Saint Mary head coach Frank Martini
