Athlete: Cece Wager
Team: Women’s soccer
Class: Sophomore
Stats: Wager was a steadfast presence for the Brewers this year, totalling 1,500 minutes on the season and averaging over 70 minutes per game. The sophomore defender’s lockdown skills are reflected in Vassar’s strong .95 goals against-per-game. Wager’s individual contributions are not typically captured in her statistics, as with most defensive soccer players. But on Nov. 16, that changed. Wager’s goal 1:58 after the second half began proved to be the game winner in Vassar’s 1-0 victory over St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the first NCAA tournament win in program history.
Statement: “This past season has meant so much to me because we truly played for each other, and every loss became a chance to grow. Together, we thrived under pressure, communicated excellently, and built the foundation for continuous success. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to grow, learn, and smile every day with the best teammates in the world, while playing the game I love. I’m excited for what’s ahead, but I’ll always cherish what we’ve accomplished together.”
