The Loyola women’s soccer team (3-5-0) welcomed six first-years to the team this year, but nursing major and midfielder Abby Swanson has started the season with a bang.
Swanson said she started her soccer career in kindergarten. As she progressed, she got involved with a club team in third grade and never looked back. She played on both male and female teams growing up, then faced a setback her freshman year of high school when she tore her ACL while playing in a game.
While she was injured, Swanson was a manager for the varsity team and returned her sophomore year to play again on the team.
