Why do you play?
I play because I love the sport, the camaraderie of being a part of a great team with an amazing coach, and the experiences I have had both on and off the field. Playing at the college level has been amazing and has taught me a great deal about who I am and who I want to be.
Why are you a goalie?
There is something about being ultimately responsible as to whether or not the other team will score. I am a pressure player, in every sport I have played and there isn't a position that carries more pressure than the goalie.
How important is the goalie position?
I believe there is not one position that is more important than another. Each player and each position on a team complement one another and to say that one is more important undermines the others. Goalies need as much skill and athleticism as the rest of the players and play a role of equal import as any position on the field.
Any advice for aspiring goalies?
Go to camps or clinics and try to learn as many technical aspects of the game and the position as you can, and then play, play, play. Also, never feel restrained by the crease, step out and make your presence known outside of the cage.

 

Comments from 2003:

Sarah Grenert is a poised, calm, skilled Goalie. Every aspect of her game is outstanding. Her Low shots, High shots, interceptions, and out of crease play and clears are excellent. She is a team leader both off and on the field as a Junior.

- Head Coach Missy Foote
