Game Day Superstition: How I put my pre-wrap headband on

Why Yale? “Although I have had great experiences at my youth soccer club with male coaches, I have always yearned to have a female coach who comprehends what it’s like to be a woman in a male-dominated field. The Yale women’s soccer staff does just that. When I met Head Coach Sarah Martinez, I knew I wanted her as my mentor and teacher throughout my college soccer career. Yale’s women’s soccer program represents everything that I love about Yale: the vibrant residential college system, the captivating classes, and the supportive community.”
 
Martinez on Golden: “Belle is as competitive of a player as you will find. Her work rate coupled with her desire to be the best continues to elevate her game. Recruited as a defensive player, we see Belle as someone who can fill multiple roles and do it at a high level. Belle will immediately impact our team with her competitive nature and gritty playing style.”
