Katie Tenefrancia (Soccer)

Are there any superstitions you have or rituals in which you partake before games?

I put my left sock on my right foot and my right sock on my left foot for practice, and then for games I switch it back.

What game or rival are you most excited for?

I would say I’m most excited for the St. Lukes game, just because last year we beat them kind of epically and they have always not liked us, so I really want to totally annihilate them so they can’t say it was a fluke last year.

Describe the worst fitness exercise.

Probably the square of death.

Will it be difficult to fill the spaces the seniors left behind?

Extremely difficult to – we are not going to be able to replace them, but it will be a whole different kind of team, not worse or better, but different. We had 8 people who were so important but helped us become good leaders for this year.

Give a piece of advice to freshmen for pre season.

I would say, don’t take one bad day and let it mess up your hopes for everything.

Kind of both because you’re impressing your coaches, but you don’t want let your team down.
