Senior goalkeeper Kristen Knutson poses for a portrait on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Soccer / Lacrosse Complex.
Kristen Knutson's had her college plans set at a young age.
From the time she could kick a soccer ball, her dream was to play collegiate soccer for the University of Minnesota.
Years later, Knutson is having a career season as a Division I goalkeeper, but not for the Golden Gophers — she wears maroon and gold for Central Michigan's soccer team.
Having started all 12 games in goal this season, Knutson helped the Chippewas achieve their best start in program history (10-1-1, 2-1-1 Mid-American Conference).
