Sayre was finally able to make her return to action against Army on March 18, 2023. She wound up playing in eight games during her junior season, tallying two goals and one assist while helping the Crusaders to their first Patriot League Tournament appearance since 2018.
“It felt really good to get back out on the field,” Sayre said. “Being able to come back, contribute and play was really exciting, especially since we had a great season. I was also able to get a different perspective on the game and the team in general from the time I spent on the sideline.”
In addition to the hard work she put in rehabbing her injury and working her way back into the lineup, Sayre has also been a standout in the classroom. A two-time selection to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, she is majoring in Economics and looks to start a career in finance following her graduation. Along those lines, Sayre did a treasury internship with Columbia Bank in Fair Lawn, N.J., in the summer of 2023.
“During my internship, I enjoyed being able to put what I’ve learned in the classroom into action in real life,” Sayre said. “I learned a lot about applying academic concepts to the real world while working as part of a team on different projects.”
