Megan Speed gave up UNC, came to CSU women’s soccer for her family

After the last game of the season, on senior night, CSU women’s soccer head coach Bill Hempen was asked what he will miss most about his graduating players.

“Their willingness to face adversity and basically keep going,” Hempen said. “It wasn’t a perfect world for them to live in from the start, and yet they made the best of it.”

For senior Megan Speed, Hempen’s words are all too true.

Megan’s road to CSU is different than most, and comes down to a mother-daughter relationship that will tug at your heart.
