Katie Meyer, the goaltender for Stanford’s women’s soccer team, passed away in a campus residence, the school announced on Wednesday.

“Katie was extraordinarily committed to everything and everyone in her world,” Stanford vice provost for student affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole and athletic director Bernard Muir said in a message to the campus community on the university’s communications site. “Her friends describe her as a larger-than-life team player in all her pursuits, from choosing an academic discipline she said ‘changed my perspective on the world and the very important challenges that we need to work together to overcome’ to the passion she brought to the Cardinal women’s soccer program and to women’s sports in general. Fiercely competitive, Katie made two critical saves in a penalty shootout against North Carolina to help Stanford win its third NCAA women’s soccer championship in 2019. Katie was a bright shining line for so many on the field and in our community.

Meyer, a senior, majored in international relations and minored in history. She was a team captain for Stanford. A Burbank, Calif., native, Meyer has two sisters, Samantha and Siena.

Indeed. She was a very talented, hard working and beautiful young lady. You never knows what drives people to this.

No, she was just about to graduate. He parents said the school said they might discipline her, for “defending a friend,” but it’s hard to know what was going on from just that.

“the very important challenges that we need to work together to overcome”

One of those was resisting Big Pharma induced vaxx propaganda.

I guess she got an F on that real world test—fatal error.

Agreed—in my entire youth I knew two teenagers who committed suicide—zero deaths from any other cause.

This would have been out of thousands of kids who were in various classes at school or college.

To kids I knew committed suicide, but by the time they did one was in college and the other was 22,23, or 24. But neither of them had a personality I thought would lead to suicide.

In fact one of them was a set of brothers about 1.5 years apart. The type A one didn't commit suicide, the carefree slob did. I still can't believe he did. I wasn't in touch with either of them when they died, but I still think about them, and wish they were around.
