"Being a woman in sports to me means putting in hard work to challenge barriers, negative stereotypes, and inequality in the sport for myself and other female athletes. I strive to push myself to break down these barriers in both soccer and in the classroom. I am so grateful that the Dean women’s soccer team gave me an environment where I feel supported, empowered, and connected with other strong female student athletes who understand what it is like to be in my shoes. I hope my success as a student athlete empowers other women to push themselves!" -Emmalynn Schnitzer #10 🫶🐶⚽️ _.schnitz99._
