Grzenda said. "She clearly understood the game early on." Pickard was a four-year starter at Lancaster Catholic High School in Pennsylvania, where she garnered two All State selections and her club team won the Olympic Development Program national title in 2007. Playing for a Division-I soccer team is an entirely differ ent experience than in high school, Pickard said. "I wasn't really ready to go to college at first," she said. "Part of me wondered how the other girls on the team would take to me starting as a freshman." After 12 points and five goals in her first 11 games, Pickard has quieted critics who questioned why a freshman was starting. Even outside of the university, she has gained recognition early as she has received two Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week honors. "My teammates are like family and have been nothing but supportive of me," Pickard said. "I think they understand how seriously I take soccer and how much effort I give in every game. So at the end of the day, we can lose the freshman label and just play soccer." Alvarado said he is not discouraged about his current role on the team because he enjoys the freshman experience and continues to try to work his way onto the field.
