Former App State women's soccer forward Kate Ward of Atlanta (GA) St. Pius X Catholic was/is a special player: she was an honor student in the classroom; she graduated in May and is now enrolled in graduate school; she led the Apps last season in shots-on-goal-percentage; she's a multi-year veteran of international futbol competition; and she has a significant disability.
