For the record, Taylor Jacklyn Kornieck is not a native of Colorado. But you think she was.
Ever since she set foot on the University of Colorado’s women’s soccer field on the outskirts Boulder campus, the 6’1” attacking midfielder quickly earned the respect from the team’s spirited fans and coaching staff.
Today, her growing fandom extends coast-to-coast, if not beyond our borders.
It is led by the passionate USWNT supporters groups here in colorful Colorado, and all those in the Centennial State that have adopted her since she arrived as a freshman in 2016.
Her mission then was straightforward: make a mark on the Lady Buff’s soccer program and earn an undergraduate degree in physiology.
