They were a tremendous group of student-athletes that competed on the playing field and in the classroom this year. These young women served our institution and this community with their hands, hearts and mind and grew to be the very best versions of themselves, I could not ask for anything more. These young women will be truly missed and have made an impact on Daytona State College and our women's soccer program."
