Sophia on why she chose Notre Dame:

“I chose Notre Dame because the minute I stepped on campus it felt like home. Notre Dame was always my goal and the top academics, amazing soccer program, and tradition made it a no brainer for me.”

Coach Norman on Sophia:

“Sophia will actually be joining us in the spring which we are excited about. She is a creative and dynamic attacking player. She is comfortable playing centrally or in the wide areas.  She can not only take players on 1-v-1 but she is a great passer and combines well with her teammates.”
