Meet Lulu Adams, soccer star and foodie
First-year center forward and right midfielder, Lulu Arj,ams, takes on being a student athlete
She recently scored her first goal at a
home game versus Whitworth College
that the Pioneers won 2-1.
"[The goal] was really great, it was
kind of just a perfect click. It worked
really well with the girl who gave me
the assist, Rochelle Jordan '17. She
was dribbling it up the side and I was
running in for the pass. The defend
er that was blocking me was right
in front of the goalie basically and
I didn't have enough time to run in
front of her and try and kick it in, so
instead I checked back and there was
space, and so Rochelle crossed it in,
did a pass back, and I just passed it in
the right corner," Adams said.
