KRISTIN DEEKS 2012 WOMEN'S SOCCER MVP
3rd year, Education student and current team captain for the past two seasons, Kristin Deeks, takes home the team MVP award for 2012.
Kristin, played a pivotal role in the team's performances this past season being removed from her starting defensive midfielder role into a centerback role when starting CB, Kara Noel, went down with a season ending injury in the second game of the season.
A leader, a strong competitor and someone who keeps the team together - Deeks is one player who is responsible for the positive culture amongst the women's soccer team and is well deserving of the award.
It is sometimes challenging for players to leave a position they prefer to play and are moved into a position they are asked to play. Kristin made the transition easy and did it for the better of the team, and for that I knew she was the right choice for captain and deserving of the Most Valuable Player!
