Chelsea Albert, #5, Plain City, OH
Why did you choose ONU?
I chose ONU because I really liked the soccer girls and the success of the team. I also loved the campus and it’s a very prestigious university.
What is your most memorable moment @ ONU so far?
Going to NCAAs last year was unbelievable. To be a part of the program’s first trip ever to Nationals was unforgettable. It was a really great sense of accomplishment and I’m excited to see us get back there this year for my senior season!
What is your favorite thing about ONU soccer?
These girls are my second family. I love every single one of them. We have so much fun together and know how to laugh and enjoy ourselves while still working hard. It’s unique to find a team with as good of team chemistry as we have here at ONU =)
Where would you like to be in 5 years?
Have my doctorate in Physical Therapy and working as a PT either at a children’s hospital or at an outpatient sports clinic. I also want to travel overseas to do mission work in underdeveloped countries.
What is your favorite sport, other than soccer?
Basketball. My dad coached for pretty much my entire childhood so I’ve grown up playing.
What is one surprising fact that not many people know about you?
I used to be really into dancing. I did tap, jazz, ballet and acro. I really want to take a hip-hop class!
What is your favorite Movie?
The Hangover
"Is this the real Caesar’s Palace? Didn’t think so."
What food couldn’t you live without?
M&M McFlurries. Single greatest creation ever.
Lindsay Gilchrist, #24, Strongsville, OH
Why did you choose ONU?
I chose ONU because it was a place where I could pursue my major and still be able to play soccer with a group of girls who are passionate about the sport!
What is your most memorable moment @ ONU so far?
Oh, so many memories after only one year, but I would have to say…sitting in my dorm room and hearing a HERD of screaming yelling girls coming running down the hallway and coming into my room shouting that we got into NCAAs for the first time!
What is your favorite thing about ONU soccer?
Our ability to get the job done, but still have fun! The team chemistry is a definite plus! And listening to Paige and Chad’s stories!
Where would you like to be in 5 years?
I would like to be in medical school. Preferably somewhere OUT of ohio! (If only Warwick castle had a med school! Haha.)
What is one surprising fact that not many people know about you?
I danced tap, jazz, and ballet for twelve years prior to coming to college!
What food couldn’t you live without?
PEANUT BUTTER! Without a doubt!
Sandy Plunkett, #25, Dayton, OH
Why did you choose ONU?
I chose ONU because it was a smaller school that had great academics and also I wanted to play soccer.
What is your most memorable moment @ ONU so far?
It has to be the time on the bus when I had to sing karaoke and apparently I sounded like a man but I had fun with it.
What is your favorite thing about ONU soccer?
My favorite thing is the team itself. Everyone on the team gets along and I enjoy being around them. We always seem to have fun when we are together.
What is your favorite sport, other than soccer?
Basketball
What is one surprising fact that not many people know about you?
I’m tall, just kidding, but I’m really shy when you first meet me but I will start to let loose once I feel comfortable around you.
Who on the team would you take with you on a cross country road trip? Why?
I would take Natalie because we both think we are hilarious so our trip would be full of laughter.
What food couldn’t you live without?
Peanut butter
What song has the most plays on your iPod right now?
