Stanford’s Women’s Soccer remembered 22-year-old soccer star Katie Meyer who died by suicide last year.
Meyer's number was 19, and it seemed fitting that her former team would remember her on Thursday, Oct. 19. October is also Mental Health Awareness Month and the team hoped to spread that message at the game.
"In March 2022, the Stanford family lost an important teammate and friend. Katie Meyer’s legacy was bigger than soccer, and we’re dedicating tonight’s game to mental health awareness." "It’s something we talk to our girls about at a young age. We talk about how they’re feeling, what they’re going through and not to shy away from these things, to really kind of take them on.
"They’re kids. Basically, being there for them, trying to connect with each other and show each other support. That’s just really what that awakened for us," said Anna Patitucci, Stanford Women’s Soccer Alumnae, Class of 1995. One woman says after hearing Meyer’s story, she tries to keep communication open with her 15-year-old daughter.
