Katie on why she chose Notre Dame:
“I chose Notre Dame because of its unparalleled combination of top notch athletics and academics. It is such a special place and I am so excited to be joining the Irish Family! The strong tradition and sense of community really made it feel like home the first time I set foot on campus.”
Norman on Katie:
“Katie is an outside back who can really play anywhere in the back line. She is a versatile player who simply does everything well. She is very confident on the ball and connects well out of the back. She is a strong athlete that allows her to be a great defender. She also has great attacking instincts which gives her the confidence and ability to go forward and join the attack.”
