 Dawn is very unique because she is a strong leader. She was a leader on the field and actually was a captain two years for our team. She worked really hard with the girls and always led by example, always strong and always just did her best on the field and gave 100 percent, which all the girls wanted to aspire to be like. Dawn was really inspirational in moving our team forward and moving our record forward. You know, we started below a 500 season when we were freshmen and we really worked over the years to develop our offense and that was due to all of Dawn's skills and trying to help the girls to move forward with their skills to being above a 500 season and Dawn was really instrumental and I feel like moving the program forward as we were there for four years together. One of Dawn's unique characteristics is that she is a quiet leader. She would go out on the field and give 100 percent and she would always inspire all the girls on the field to want to be better, to play better, to play harder. She truly was an inspiration. Hockey for Dawn was just another opportunity to share a different part of her, the aggressive side, the intense side. That's a different side than you are in the classroom where you're friendly, you're kind, and you're caring. And she really enjoyed coming out for those four years and getting the opportunity to be intense and to play hard and to show that different side of her for four years and it's hard to balance being in college and athletics. So that's what kept us going for four years was being able to go out and be aggressive and play hard and play the sport we loved. Dawn gave 110 percent when it came to school work. We spent a lot of time working on portfolios and lesson plans and talking to each other about how we would execute a lesson plan and what would be best for our kids and our students in our in our classes. And she really worked hard and spent a lot of time studying to prepare to be a really great teacher and she is a really great teacher. Dawn is very deserving of this honor because on the field she produced numbers. She was up there on that front line scoring. She gave us an advantage when we needed it. She was one of the top of our class. She was the Capedal to Pi. We did the Honor Society together. She truly was an all around athlete. She was great with education. She was involved with school and is very deserving of this honor tonight.
