AUBURN, Ala. - Caroline Bado first toured Auburn as a high school sophomore when she traveled from Tampa, Florida, to Montgomery for Thanksgiving with her grandparents.
“A few years later, I end up here,” says Bado, a first-team All-SEC defender on Auburn’s soccer team. “It’s just kind of funny.”
Seven years passed between Bado’s Auburn visits. During that time, she graduated high school and played three seasons at Central Florida. This fall, she became the first graduate transfer in Coach Karen Hoppa’s two decades at Auburn.
