Taylor Deitrick is a junior from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a major in leadership studies and a minor in history. She is a forward on the Richmond field hockey team, which recently won the A-10 Championship. Deitrick has been playing field hockey since sixth grade, and has similarly instilled a love of the sport in other children. For the past two years, she has coached the Richmond Panthers United Field Hockey Club team, and has coached in summer camps. Deitrick enjoys the culture of her team and having a chance to improve alongside the other players. A challenge for her this past season had been finding her flow and honing her skills.

Student-athletes make the decision to do it because they love their sports; things are not handed to them. Something you don’t know about Deitrick?
