But women’s head coach Terry Gurnett realizes that Meg Barritt not only “played subperbly in both games this week, [and although] her work wasn’t necessarily reflected on the scoreboard, [she] was a superior presence in the middle both games.”

In fact, Barritt’s notable performances helped the women win the University Athletic Association Championship and advance to the NCAA Div. III playoffs.

But this care-free, down-to-earth soccer player remains her focus. She currently majors in religion and classics and plans to pursue a brain and cognitive science minor.
