The soccer standout’s professional career was first put on hold for college, now for injury.
On July 1, 2016, Catherine Zimmerman’s dreams of playing professional soccer came true when it was announced that she had signed with Sky Blue FC.
As Sky Blue’s attack continued to be hampered by injuries, Head Coach Christy Holly turned to the forward/midfielder a reserve with Sky Blue at the time, to give some life and depth up top for the team.
Zimmerman had already faced one setback in her dreams of being a professional athlete, and little did she know that less than one month later, she would face another.
