At a much younger age, Hendrickson High School senior Nikki Belt, who plays for Lonestar D1 Premier Red team, probably never would have imagined signing with Liberty University to play goalkeeper.
In fact, she wouldn’t have wanted to play anywhere as goalkeeper. It once was a terrifying experience.
“When I first started soccer, I was a field player and the team I played for switched out goalkeepers every other week,” Belt said. “I went in and basically almost broke my finger and when I had to go back in I would cry.”
Not only is Belt a solid goalkeeper but a great student as well. She carries a 3.6 GPA and had the option of going to Yale University for her studies if she had wanted to do so. It was Liberty University that appealed to her the most.Click Here for Full Story
“I visited a lot of big schools like Yale and Baylor but it didn’t feel like that at home atmosphere to me,” Nikki said.
