    Theresa Sherry - The Dynamo

    Theresa Sherry's career as a Tiger spanned four of the most nationally successful years in the program's history. Her freshman year, they lost in the final game. Sophomore year, they won the championship. Junior year, she scored the money shot in overtime to win back-to-back championships. And senior year, in 2004, the year Princeton hosted the NCAA Finals, they lost in the final game. That year, Theresa would be named Ivy League Player of the Year and finish her career at Princeton having won 7 Ivy League Championships because, that's right, she also crushed it on the soccer field as a Tiger. 2x National Champion. 3x All American. 4x All Ivy. All of this and a woman here today, 18 years after graduating, talking about the best parts of it all - her 2004 classmates, that 2004 team, and that 2004 coaching staff.
