Louise Stephens '16 signed her National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play soccer for Rice University on February 3, 2016. Stephens is the Girls Varsity Soccer team captain and plays center midfielder. As the Falcons approach the end of the regulation season, Stephens has five assists and nine goals so far. According to Girls Soccer Program Head James Jordan, "Louise is a once-in-a-generation soccer player. She is an exceptionally talented soccer player, yet she remains the defiinition of humble. Louise is dead serious about winning, yet she finds ways to keep us all laughing with humorous comments and/or the spontaneous dancing." When asked about her specific soccer skills, Jordan says "Louise is an amazing box-to-box, goal-scoring midfielder, yet she accepted without question playing aas a defender earlier this season. She is a warrior who never backs down from a challenge in games or practices, and she is also one of the kindest young ladies I have ever met off the field. In addition to her many tackles, assists and goals on the field, it is Louise's character, dedication, and inspirational commitment to her teammates and school that will be most sorely missed next year." Congratulations, Louise!.jpg)
