Senior forward Erica Roberts is playing what she’s said is her final season of college soccer for packwsoccer, and is making it one to remember.

“NC State soccer has just honestly become so much of my family. I have such fond emotions and memories already just with these girls,” Roberts said. “I think us as a whole, we’ve really been able to make a culture and an environment where everybody genuinely loves each other and wants the absolute best for each other.”

Starting her career at Florida was an exciting opportunity for Roberts. She saw the pitch in every game her freshman year, and started twice. However, in the spring, a hip injury forced her to sit back and a summer of physical therapy didn’t have her ready in time for her sophomore season.

“So I was there at [Florida], but just finding a different role on the sideline … I was able to learn so much about the game tactically in that moment, obviously, because I can’t be on the field and do the technical aspects of it,” Roberts said. “Tactically, I was able to grow a lot through there.”

When Higgins reached out to her, she decided to take a chance and move to East Carolina University.

After that, Higgins got hired as NC State’s head coach and brought Roberts with him to the Pack where they have stayed since last season.
