The jersey is everything

Dugan proud to represent Valpo while always remembering where she came from

There will come a point on Thursday afternoon when the Valparaiso women’s soccer team will finish up training prior to the start of its season opener at Eastern Illinois.

The players will ditch their warmups and quickly put on their jerseys before running back out to the field. For most of the players, the quick change won’t require much thought. For Kiley Dugan, the moment will mean everything.

That’s because the jersey is everything.
