On Oct. 16, 2022, Quincy University’s Women’s Soccer program hosted a game versus Truman State at Legends Stadium.

At the end of this season, QU Women’s Soccer is saying goodbye to 9 of their seniors. 

“The seniors are the glue of our team. I look up to each and every one of them. They all bring something different individually as players and teammates on and off the field. They are always motivating and trying to make others better, including themselves. The seniors’ work ethic and grit is what fuels our team. They make our program thrive and they will be missed,” Lily Haire said. 

Olivia Kindt is a graduate student, and is participating in her third season for the Hawks. 

“Transferring into this program was the best decision I could have made. This team has worked through so much adversity and I am so happy to have been a part of the start of the new QU Women’s Soccer era. Most importantly, I’m so grateful this program, helped me find happiness on the field again,” Kindt said.
