The award is a token of hard work, good judgment, understanding and determination.

"Adrienne not only stands out as a scholar and a strong performer in the classroom, but she is also an incredible mentor to her peers on and off the athletic fields. To say she was an impact player for the women's soccer program is an understatement. Aside from being the epitome of a successful student-athlete, Adrienne is an outstanding college representative, team player and role model to her teammates. Adrienne will be greatly missed across all areas of the college, but we wish her well in her future plans of coaching. I know whatever program Adrienne ends up working with, they will be incredibly lucky to have her!" – Women's Soccer Head Coach Meghan Medbery
