Senior forward Dana Larsen is the true embodiment of the word “student-athlete.” She is a talent to be envied on and off the field, and her teammates look up to her for it.
The team’s leading scorer is poised for another successful year on and off the field.
“Most people don’t know all of her accomplishments, but she is a brainiac as well as a soccer stud,” junior midfielder Alex Klein said.
Larsen is a biochemistry major who has been named to multiple all-academic teams and is on the Dean’s list.
“School has always been super important to me from high school all the way up. To me, being a student-athlete is a privilege. You’ve got to do the schoolwork to get it done,” Larsen said.
