Unable to make assists on the field, Aztecs’ Rieder starts nonprofit assisting seniors

SDSU women's soccer senior forward Veronica Avalos (left) and redshirt sophomore midfielder Abbie Rieder (right) are on their way to deliver groceries for the nonprofit Leave It To Us whose San Diego chapter was started by Rieder.

April is usually a time when San Diego State women’s soccer would begin its spring practice schedule to prepare for the upcoming fall season.

A typical week consists of training every morning at 7 a.m., weight room three days a week, team meetings and spring scrimmages.

In the matter of days, the coronavirus changed this normal schedule. The hope that adjustments could be made vanished when student-athletes living on campus were sent home by the university.
