Get To Know Your Rising Seniors: Kimberly Keever
April 25, 2017 | Women's Soccer
This spring, we asked each of our rising seniors a few questions to get to know them a little better. Today we spoke with Kimberly Keever who joined the program in 2014 from Manhattan Beach, Calif. The forward has now been named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team for two consecutive seasons, and has collected 16 career goals as a Husky.
What would you do on a free Saturday here around the city?
I am still waiting for a sunny day, but I would love to play beach volleyball or grass volleyball at Greenlake again.
Where is your favorite place to eat here in Seattle and why?
Eureka burger, every time my family is up here for a game we always go get burgers after. It's not quite In-N-Out but it will do.
What is your major?
Psychology
What has been your favorite part about living the college life?
Being able to be out on my own for the first time, but knowing my family is never too far away.
Least favorite?
Coming home late to the house and still having to make dinner!
If you could matchup with anyone in the world for a PK right now just for fun, who would it be and why?
Jane Campbell, it is still on my list of goals to beat Stanford!
What has been your most memorable athletic event you've been to at UW and why?
The USC-UW football game was pretty awesome. Both my sister and my dad are huge USC football fans and they both got to come to that game. Even though we lost, I got both my sister and my dad to cheer for UW.
Compared to your expectations you had when you first arrived on campus, what has been the most surprising thing about your time at Washington to you?
It's never enough time. When I first got to campus, I thought I had so much time to try everything and accomplish all my goals, but going into my final year it seems that I still have a lot of unfinished business.
Amy is in goal and Lesle is shooting on a PK or free kick, who comes out on top?
That's a tough one, but I have to go with Amy.
What is the most crucial thing you've learned on the soccer field since you've been here?
Every player has their role on the team, these roles change very frequently but it is important that you fill your role however possible.
What do you want to do once you graduate?
I want to continue playing soccer at the highest level possible and then eventually go into nursing.
If you could go back in time, what is one piece of advice you would give to yourself as an incoming freshman?
Don't wait to accomplish your goals. Dream big and work towards your goal every day from the beginning, no days wasted.
