In the spring of 2018, Kim Dubs was on a Skype call — but it wasn’t a normal with one of her friends or family members.
The Zurich, Switzerland native was instead talking with people located halfway around the globe in a place she had never been before, discussing a life-changing decision.
Those “people” happened to be the Penn State women’s soccer coaches, and that “place” was University Park, Pennsylvania.
Assistant coach Tim Wassell first discovered Dubs at an international tournament in La Manga, Spain, in March 2018. Wassell, along with head coach Erica Dambach and associate head coach Ann Cook, began to recruit Dubs after watching her via video in various other international matches.
