The Seniors Vital Importance

The 2015 dream season that ended with a perfect record and state championship had so

many stories and memories. But the four seniors in this senior class may be overlooked when

measured to their previous teammates. Nine seniors last year comprised the leadership core and

six went on to become collegiate athletes. The current juniors are incredibly talented and contrib-

uted heavily on the field. These four seniors were just as important to the success of championship

and gained great value in the experiences of last season. Jennifer learned the importance of being

part of something and staying with a task because it drives your passion. She made a mature deci-

sion to forego playing this season to pursue the lead in the school play, yet had remained involved

by keeping the scorebook at every game. Izzy has learned to be patient during rehab, yet has re-

mained very involved simply being present—leading the pre-game cheer, filling water and even tap-

ing ankles in Amber’s absence. Elise has simply been a mainstay, working incredibly hard every

training and match, learning to lead and balancing an incredibly busy academic and extracurricular

schedule. Jess is a role model—we are all heart broken she has been unable to complete her career

on the field. But her attitude has not changed. She designs and leads strength and conditioning on

Tuesdays, a gift she has given the program as she is sharing her passion for nutrition and fitness. She

will forever be the player who scored the game winning goal in the 2015 state championship game.

Elise,

As a goalie you always want a strong defender in front of you. Thank you for doing

such a great job and making my job so much easier. We are so lucky to have you as

our captain this year. I know it’s not easy having to step up and do a lot of things on

your own but you have done such a nice job. You have carried a big load this year and

I know I speak for the team when I say we appreciate your leadership and example.

Your ability to excel in the classroom and on the soccer field is amazing. Our team is

blessed to have you as our role model. We love you and will miss you a lot. The team

won’t be the same without you next year. Thanks for all you have done for our team.

Keep up the leadership...We are not done yet!

Elise has been a mainstay in the lineup from her arrival as a freshman. She will end her

career with almost 80 games played which will rank in the top 10 in program history. This is a

statement of her ability to stay healthy and to perform. I am most appreciative of her acceptance to

move to defense as a sophomore. The move solidified our defense and became such an importance

function of the state championship team last year. Her role on that team was as important as any

player and that embodies who Elise is—she knows the importance of a role and fulfilling every as-

pect of a defined role. She has now stepped into the role of leader. Leading a group of peers is not

an easy task for a teenager, but as she does with everything in her life, Elise accepts the challenge

and looks to constantly improve herself. -Coach Fee

Dear Jess,

Thank you for being the person I looked up to for 3 years at Summit on the soccer field and in

school. You may not know this but I came to the summit soccer camp in 7th and 8th grade and

there was a really cool girl there named Jess and I knew I wanted to be exactly like her. so here I

am at Summit. You have done so much for me, making an effort to always be there to give your

opinion and talk when no one else will. I know I can text you at anytime just to get things off my

chest or just talk about soccer. I love you so much Jessica and don't forget it!! You are a beautiful

person inside and out. 4&5 forever.

Love, Maddie Brault, Class of 2018

Jess unfortunately completed her career early when she injured her knee, but the numbers

support that she is one of the most successful players in the history of the program. She was clos-

ing in on some major program records. But true to Jess’s personality, she has accepted the disap-

pointment and is embracing her next challenge—recovery and preparation for her collegiate career

at High Point University. I am most appreciate for Jess’s soccer IQ. She knows the game as well as

any player I have ever coached. And she knows the importance of preparation—fitness, diet,

strength training. She has brought this elevated knowledge to her teammates. - Coach Fee

Jennifer,

Even though you have not been able to be out with us on the field, you always bring a positive and

fun-loving attitude to every game. Your presence as team manager has been essential to the great

season we have had so far. You are consistently supportive and enthusiastic, and you truly embody

the team’s value of sisterhood. What is most admirable about you is how dedicated you are to all

aspects of your life. We can find you on stage displaying your talents in one of our school’s musicals,

showing your strong leadership abilities on the soccer or lacrosse teams, or playing an active role in

one of our many clubs. If you have a passion for something, you will work as hard as you can to

reach the goals you have set for yourself in those areas. Your sense of humor, your approachable

personality, and your infectious laugh are just a few of the things that make you such a joy to be

around. I know that all of the girls, including myself, will miss you on and off the field next year.

However, I’m sure it won’t be long before we see you in a major blockbuster Hollywood movie or

casted in the next Broadway hit. Jenna Eveslage, Class of 2018

Jennifer is one of those athletes coaches love to have as a part of their programs. She works hard every time she takes the field, she is supportive of her teammates, she ob-viously cherishes being past of the program, she asks questions geared toward self-improvement and she is willing to fill any role. Jennifer has taken full advantage of her op-portunities, not just in soccer, but in the arts as well. Jennifer just enjoys being part of something, whether it be on the athletic field or on stage. And she is acknowledged by her peers in this. It is great role modeling for the younger kids in the program. Thank you Jennifer for bringing enthusiasm each day and for challenging me to be a better coach. I have always appreciated your desire to learn and improve.

Izzy will acknowledge that her transfer to Summit was an important and needed change in

her life. But she probably does not know how much the Summit has benefitted from her arrival.

Izzy bringing confidence, swagger and a presence to every task. But what many don’t see are the

little things she does to make the program better. She will offer to fill the water jugs, to tape an

ankle or to mentor a freshman. These small things make the entire program stronger and better. I

am heartbroken that she has been unable to return to the field, but am so grateful that she is a con-

tinued presence on the sideline. Izzy has a unique personality that has brought so much to not only

the soccer program, but to the greater Summit community. I am looking forward to her return to

the lacrosse field in the spring. -Coach Fee

IZZY! Where do I begin?!? Thank you so so much for being my second mom this

year! You are there for me on and off the field and I can’t express how grateful I am for

that. You’re always there to help prior and during games with my many problems and to

be the stand-in for Amber. The hilarious moments never stop and you continue to make

my days brighter. I wish you could be on the field with us this seaon, but you got to make

sure you’re back to 100%! I can’t wait to watch you dominate in lax this season. You’ve

got huge things in your future, Mercer has a good one coming. I am glad that I have gotten

to create so many memories with you! You the Best!!

Love you, Lily Melink, Class of 2018

Dear Mom and Dad,

I can’t believe that it is already my senior night. Thank you so much for always being my num-ber one fans. You have both put in so much time for me and I can’t thank you enough. You’re always there whenever I need you and I know I can always count on you both. I don’t know

what I would've done with you guys.

Love you both so much,

Elise

Dear mom & dad,

Thank you for always supporting me. You have always encouraged me to pursue anything I de-sire, and push me to succeed. I have never felt scared to try something new, and I have never backed out of something for fear of your disapproval. You have always stood by me and kept

me going. Thank you for being my #1 fans!

Love, Jennifer

Hi mommy and daddy,

Thank you so much for everything you have done for me over the years. It's beyond crazy to think where we started 4 short years ago and where we are now, my last soccer season ever (finally)!!! Thank you for all of the many games you have come to and cheered me on (or my team in the case of the last 9 months), I don't think I would have made it without you! The good news is, you get 4 more years of watching me play. Thanks so much for everything, I love

you both very much!!

Xoxo Isabella Ann

Thank you mom and dad for everything you have done for me throughout my soccer career. I cannot imagine where I would be without you both always pushing me to be the best player and person I could be. Thank you for putting up with my injuries and for always being that

"rock" that I can rely on in my life to get me through the road blocks that pop up.

Love you guys,

Jess
