Only a freshman, Kitty Qu has earned a starting spot in goal for Penn women's soccer
It only took 12 minutes for freshman Kitty Qu to get the signal to put on her gloves. After her team went two goals down just minutes after the season-opening whistle, Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke called up the untested newcomer for her first taste of collegiate soccer. That was over two weeks ago, and Qu has played every minute of action since. “It’s cool for me because it’s taking a lot of responsibility as a freshman,” the Foster City, Calif., native said. In the three games that followed that opening 3-1 loss to Maryland on August 28, Qu has held on to her starting spot, showing that her stint in goal was not a one-time occurrence. And with Qu in goal, the Quakers (3-1-0) have opened their season with fantastic momentum.
