Character

Deines is every coach’s dream. She excels in the Communications school holding over a 3.7 G.P.A. and I believe over a 3.8 in her major alone. She’s been on the Dean’s List multiple times. She has contributed to team success since the day she stepped on campus, helping lead the team to 3 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths including an Elite Eight run in her junior year in which she was a captain on the squad. Deines has continued to earn both scholastic and athletic awards while at Washington and has also been able to represent her country again on the U.S. U-23 team in Sweden this past summer. Beyond the numbers and accolades Deines is a wonderful human being. She is a leader by nature and her work ethic and passion make her an outstanding person to follow. She is serious about being the best in all aspects of her life but she understands that fun is a big component of both school and soccer and she never passes up on an opportunity to have fun and make sure that others are having fun as well.

Community

Deines volunteered at a children’s hospital, has done the Wedgewood Walk-a-thon, volunteered at an elementary after school program, and gone bowling with the program for special needs kids at People 2 People.
