What a journey. Made history. Couldn’t be more prouder of these girls. 1 year ago today, I was on crutches recovering from a torn ACL & meniscus. To have made it this far feels like a dream. 💗💗💗 Thank you Villa, 1 year left.

What an honor to be named All State Co-Goalkeeper for class 1. This time last year, I had just had ACL surgery and set a goal to return better than before. Proud of meeting my goals and my team for making history.

Thrilled to be named “co-goalkeeper of the year” and have my name be listed with many other talented athletes. What a comeback season!!

FIRST GAME BACK! 10 long months of ACL and meniscus recovery, and it feels so good to be in goal again. Turned in 16 saves against a talented CJA team. Next game Tuesday away versus Nerinx.

@LucyMolitor @ChadOtec @LouFuszSoccer @SDsoccerFC Your gonna back stronger than ever Lucy! A minor setback for a major comeback! You are so strong & got this💗💖sending much love🫶💕

It hurts me to say that I had acl surgery today and that I will not be able to play the game I love for 6 months⚽️But this isn’t the end and I’ll be back better than I was before. I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again. Work starts now🔥 #aclrecovery

During my high school soccer game on Friday, I tore my ACL and meniscus. A comeback is coming soon, and I’m going to return stronger than ever. My @VDOHschool soccer team has given me the greatest teammates & support, and I wouldn’t be able to get through this without them.💗💗
