A few months after graduation, she was playing on a professional team in Australia. A soccer player since age four, Cloepfil credits her experience at Macalester for continuing to affirm her love of the game. She avoided the burnout that many of her friends experienced at other schools. “I continue to play because I still love it, and I still love it because I had such a great time at Macalester,” Cloepfil said. Cloepfil ranks sixth all-time in Macales- ter history in both career goals (39) and career assists (24). In her senior season, Cloepfil earned her second Team MVP award and led the Minnesota Intercolle- giate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in scoring for her second consecutive season. She was also named the MIAC Player of the Year and an All-American. Cloepfil considered attending Division I schools Penn and Brown, but when she visited Mac “everything just felt right.” An English major, she studied abroad in Nepal, interned with a publishing company in St. Paul, and created a literary publica- tion at Macalester. She currently plays professionally with the Swedish Women’s Soccer League, and hopes to eventually attend graduate school Photo by Dave Turner and pursue a career in creative writing.
