Colohan’s athletic bona fides are certainly well-established. Days after the Cougar soccer team played in its first national championship game, on December 6, Colohan was named Top Drawer Soccer’s National Player of the Year.
The player of the year honor was a nod to her talent. The Kaysville, Utah, native scored 18 goals in 2021, second most in the nation. When not kicking or heading balls into the back of the net, she was usually setting up one of her Cougar teammates, recording 16 assists.
Colohan finished her college career with 53 goals, second most in BYU history.
(1) I firmly believe that I can achieve wonderful things at the collegiate level if only given the chance to do so. Every day on and off of the soccer field I push myself to be the very best that I can be. Academically, I'm at the top of my class, and I strive for nothing but the very best in each of my classes. Given the chance, I know I could preform well academically while maintaining a high level of play on the soccer pitch. As an athlete, I maintain that determination and that fire to be the very best at what I do. My expectations for myself and for my teammates around me are extremely high, and I do everything that I can to meet those goals and expectations. I strive to be a leader at church, school, and on the soccer field. (2) As a person, I have grown up with wonderful examples in my life that have helped me to develop into a man of good character as well as a quality athlete. This allows me to bring the fire and intensity that an athlete needs to be great while maintaining a sense of sportsmanship and respect for my opponents. I respect all of my fellow athletes on and off the field, while fearing none. (3) Above all else, I know that God has given me all that I have, and he comes first and foremost in my life. I will be serving a mission for my church following my high school graduation, and as a result, I will not be available to play until the fall semester of 2017.
