When midfielder Eli Rapp tore her ACL, she didn’t have to look far for expert care. Our team physician, Dr. Christie Heikes from TCO, was there every step of the way. We’re proud to have TCO as our Official Sports Medicine Provider, keeping our athletes strong, supported, and ready to compete. "Recovering from ACL surgery was one of the most challenging yet rewarding journeys I’ve faced. I was incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Heikes as my surgeon, her expertise gave me the confidence I needed to believe in my return. Throughout my recovery, I combined mental recovery sessions with physical training, pushing myself step-by-step through every milestone. Each step felt like a major victory. Missing my third season with Aurora was tough, but the time away gave me a chance to grow, not just as an athlete, but as a person. Now, back and stronger than ever, I couldn’t be more excited to hit the field!"
