The school said in their statement, “We will grieve this loss together, and will be here for each other.”

Katie earned national recognition in 2019 after she made two critical saves to help the Cardinals win its third NCAA championship. When she made the second save in penalty she looked directly to the ESPN camera and acted like locking her lips and throwing away the key had gone viral.

Speaking with Just Women’s Sports, she clarified that Mia (Fishel, UCLA player) shouted “We scored because of the keeper. It’s the keeper” and told her team she was the weak link which wasn’t super exciting for her to hear.

So, right before half-time, Mia took the penalty and which Katie saved. She explained, “Had any other player taken the PK, I wouldn’t have said anything. But she’d been talking, so I talked back. I asked her, “Is it the keeper? Is it the keeper?” I wish it had stayed on the field, but it didn’t. Mia’s a great player. I’ve known her for a while, and we’re competitive. We get heated at the moment, just like guys do. And we’ll play each other again.”

Furthermore, she had played 50 games across three seasons producing 20 shutouts and winning 34 matches while only allowing 35 goals. Her awards and recognition include the 2018-2019 PAC12 Championship, the NCAA National Championship in 2019, two College Cup appearances, 2019 College Cup All-Tournament Team, 2019 United Coaches West Region Third Team, 2019, 2020-2021 two-time PAC12 fall academic honor roll, and 2021 CoSIDA academic All-District 8,’ among others.
