Brizard on Ladd: “Chelsea is going to be another one of those mainstays in the middle of the field. We’re happy to have her back there. She’s a hard worker and she will just keep fighting until there’s no one left standing. She’s a smart player, she’s knows the game, and we’re looking for good things from her.”

In 2011 (Freshman): Chelsea made her presence felt as a freshman in 2011, signaling a bright future both defensively and as an offensive threat. She played in 18 games and started five, playing more than 600 minutes and finishing with one goal. Chelsea scored her first collegiate goal against Longwood on Sept. 9, collecting the ball in the box and booting it past the keeper for the game-tying score. She finished with four shots, two of which were on goal, and posted a .250 shot percentage. She was named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

HIGH SCHOOL: Chelsea played one year of high school soccer as a midfielder at Vanden High School.
