Women’s soccer Asst. Coach Jamie Gillis ’10 and team captain Margaret McSpiritt love their sport, which has taught them about team-building, conflict resolution, and self-development. They worked with Soccer Without Borders over winter break to share their experiences with young people in Nicaragua. McSpiritt and Gillis blogged throughout the trip and say the experience was a fantastic opportunity to pass on their love of soccer.
