Pre-game Rituals or Superstitions:
I must warm up the same way every day. If I do something different in my warm up then I will continue to do it that way if we win that game. I try to make everything about a pre game just like the one before.
Favorite Thing About USM Athletics:
I really like the girls on the team and how the athletic department treats student athletes.
Quote From Coach Brown-Denico:
“Sadie has really been a life-saver this year. After graduating Jessie Superchi last season and recruiting six goalies unsuccessfully for this year – she was asked in May to come to USM full time to play. She really wanted to play again, after sitting out two seasons. I had recruited her out of high school, but she chose to go to Sweet Briar College in Virginia where she was named Rookie of the Year in their conference. Sadie, unfortunately came at a time when our team was in a rebuilding year and had some huge shoes to fill. She has done a tremendous job this season with some unbelievable saves. She has kept us in many games when she has been pummeled with shots. She is a great leader, tells it like it is, works her tail off and expects the same from those around her.”
