“Katie was extraordinarily committed to everything and everyone in her world. Her friends describe her as a larger-than-life team player in all her pursuits, from choosing an academic discipline she said, ‘changed my perspective on the world and the very important challenges that we need to work together to overcome’ to the passion she brought to the Cardinal women’s soccer program and to women’s sports in general,” the school statement said.
Soccer fans will fondly remember Meyer’s heroics in the 2019 NCAA Championship when she made an eventual game-winning penalty save against North Carolina and gave an iconic celebration.
