Alumna Caitlin Hesse has already made her mark on college soccer, helping The Lady Toppers of Western Kentucky University (WKU) earn the regular season Sun Belt Conference championship. The team is now headed to the conference tournament which will be held November 6-10 in San Marcos, Texas. As the regular-season champions, WKU will be the tournament's No.1 seed.
Hesse was recognized as a leading rookie after she and teammate Iris Dunn helped lead WSU to a win over University of Louisiana-Lafayette earlier this season. Hesse notched her first-career goal late in the second half of that game, finishing off teammate Andrea Curry’s pass in traffic with her left foot to give WKU a 2-0 lead.
