Haley Bylsma '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Haley Bylsma and I would like to tell you a little about myself. I was first introduced to soccer when I was three years old. I started playing club ball when I was eight but had to take a break during middle school due to Covid. In ninth grade I started playing school ball again. What I love most about soccer is the bonds that come from friendships that feel like family. I would really like to make a career out of soccer but am also interested in a career in criminal justice. I have always been interested in shows and books involving crimes and how to solve them. I am mostly interested in the detective side of criminology and how the mind works. I have always enjoyed problem solving and brain teasers. When I was twelve I lost a family member to suicide and have felt drawn to help families find closure when they lose a loved one unexpectedly.
