About an hour northwest of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, lies the city of Stirling. Farmland flourishes around this part of the country and so does the sport of soccer.
Freshman defender Kate Nicolson recalled much about her hometown over 4,000 miles away from her new home at the University of South Alabama.
"I talk to my mom every day," said Nicolson. "I miss being on the farm with my dad and helping him out – I used to be out there every day and night."
Her soccer career began outside of the long days on the farm, on the pitch playing with a boys' club.
