She is a two-time Academic All-GNAC honoree and a consistent presence on the Dean's List. A nursing major, Hope plans to go to graduate school to become a nurse practitioner in an ICU.
The other captain this season, Sarah Tetrault (North Easton, Mass.) was a key leader of the defensive line right from the start of her career, starting 36 of the 43 matches she played in. On Oct. 2, she scored the game-winning goal with 4:06 remaining in the second overtime period to give Regis a 2-1 victory over Anna Maria. She always brought her positive energy both on and off the field. Her passion for the sport and her team was noticeable on a daily basis.
