The award is given to a female who has extraordinary athletic ability and has contributed the most to her team, the College and the world of sport. The award is a token of hard work, good judgment, understanding and determination.

She also won the Wynne Jesser McGrew Scholar-Athlete Award which is given to the graduating female senior who, in the opinion of the Athletic Advisory Council, has made significant contributions to both the scholastic and varsity programs of the College.

"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
