Tess Boade – Jr. Midfielder
Checking in from: Denver, Colo.
What are you doing to stay active during the quarantine?:
"I'm super fortunate to be checking in from Colorado because it makes staying active a lot easier, since Colorado is so outdoorsy. Earlier this week, I actually went up to the mountain and did some hiking, which was super fun and a change of pace from sitting in my living room."
How have you adjusted to online classes?
"The transition to online classes has been pretty difficult, but I think the Duke professors have done a really good job of being accommodating and making this transition as easy as possible."
How are you staying connected with your teammates?
"As a team, we've been trying to figure out creative ways to stay connected. That includes zoom meetings and virtual games."
What is one thing you miss about being on campus?
"The thing I miss most about being on campus is seeing my teammates and best friends everyday. I hope everyone is staying health and safe and people are finding fun things to do during this quarantine."
Caitlin Cosme – Jr. Defender
Checking in from: Long Island, N.Y.
What are you doing to stay active during the quarantine?:
"It's been hard to stay super active because I'm in the epicenter of this virus, but nonetheless I have been able to workout."
How have you adjusted to online classes?
"I think we can all agree that this transition to online classes is not idea, but I do think that the profressors at Duke have been very accommodating and understanding of everyone's situation and are trying to make it as easy as possible."
How are you staying connected with your teammates?
"Being able to zoom with my teammates has been really awesome. Currently we are tying to figure out ways to make zoom fun with cool activities to do with everybody. I think it's really great to stay connected and stay engaged with everybody."
What is one thing you miss about being on campus?
"Nothing really beats being at Duke and being on campus. The thing that I miss the most is walking around and seeing everybody."
Mia Gyau – R-Jr. Midfielder/Defender

How are you staying connected with your teammates?
"I've been staying connected with my teammates by doing zoom calls and facetime calls, while also just sending each other funny messages."
What is one thing you miss about being on campus?

What is most fun thing you've done while quarantining?

I've been finding different areas around my house where I can get touches on the ball to be as prepared as I can."
How have you adjusted to online classes?
