I would love to thank my family and my sister for being my #1 supporter from wherever she was but especially my parents for making my goals a reality. They have been the ones to motivate and guide me throughout my 11 years of playing at Placer United. From going through programs like the DA with all the travel and helping me get more exposure to better my recruitment and college goals, thank you, Mom and Dad! Thank you to my best friends, my teammates, and especially my coaches who have helped me get to where I am today: Ron Benjamin, Don Finley, Janis Hurter, Nate Gargiulo, Charles Dukes, and everyone who played a role during my career. You have all played a part in boosting my confidence and the love I have for soccer. I would not be here without you all. Finally, I am thrilled to continue with the sport I love with Coach Grant and my future teammates! Go Lumberjacks!”—Emma Hardy
