“I’m very excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Benedictine College (Atchison, Kansas). I’m incredibly grateful to all of my coaches who have supported and developed me along the way—especially Coach Todd DeCarlo, whose guidance and support over the past few years has meant so much. Thank you to my parents, family, and teammates for their constant encouragement and support throughout my soccer journey. I’m excited for this next chapter and ready for what’s ahead! Go Ravens!” —Gianna Birdsall
