Husker Soccer 2021

It feels like we have been talking about this girl playing college soccer FOREVER!! Her first college visit was her freshman year of high school in August of 2016. Here we are four and a half years later, finally this past weekend she hit the collegiate soccer field with the Nebraska Huskers. 

Bus ride to Minnesota in a mask

You should see the schedule the athletes have on travel and game days. This is not easy stuff.

Dressed and ready to go with her roommate Gwen

Kick off

THIS KID IS STARTING!!!

Reagan graduated from high school early so she could be ready to play soccer in the fall of 2020. (The normal college soccer season is played in the fall)

Then covid...

Even though she has been at college for a full year the BIG TEN is just now letting these girls play their first games. Yay!!! 

But no fans. Boo!!

Chris and I had planned on traveling to Minnesota, Michigan St, Ohio St and Illinois. Instead we are (saving money and) watching the Huskers play on BTN+

Hoping and praying that once games are outside we will be able to attend.

Watch Party!!! Family!!! Food!!! Soccer!!!

We got messages from so many friends and family who watched or listened to the game. 

The support is amazing! 

Emma dressed up Moo and then watched at a local sports bar with Kaylee 

Even the Iowa family cheered for Reagan and the Huskers!

I made my own shirt too

Reagan started both halves and the first OT. She played a total of 67 minutes with one shot on goal. The game ended in a 0-0 tie in OT. I was so proud of our #7. She was super nervous but played like a pro. (Remember I’m the mom aka biggest fan ever!) She had some amazing side tackles and seemed to play a lot of defense even though she is a forward. The team probably learned a lot and this week’s game in Michigan may look a lot different. 

Seeing Reagan achieve her goal of playing D1 soccer at a power 5 school brings this mama to tears. I continue to pray for our girl to use her talents and gifts to serve the Lord with whatever platform He provides.
