Who inspired Woodbeck to play soccer?
"Pele – he came from nothing and had the courage and persistence to fulfill his dreams and play the sport he loves."
Why Purdue?
"When I attended the prospect camp the players were very friendly and genuine. I feel the coaching staff and team had great chemistry and the environment was positive and supportive."
Coach Roff says
"Chloe is a very talented, well rounded player that can play multiple positions at a high level. She has very good size and athleticism, defends well, and has the technical ability to play quickly. She also is a smart soccer player that makes good decisions with and without the ball, and has a nice finishing touch around goal. Chloe has also benefited from playing with one of the top clubs in the country, and she understands what it takes to win. These impressive attributes, along with her versatility, will help Chloe make an impact in our program as a forward, midfielder, or as a back."
