Lapeire on why she chose Purdue 
"Purdue has amazing facilities, coaching staff and team culture. I immediately felt at home on campus and my dream has always been to play soccer in the Big Ten."

Coach Roff says
"Hannah is a central midfielder that combines very good technical ability and athleticism, with a high soccer IQ.  Her ability to stay composed, and play out of pressure, will be a great asset when building play out of the back.  She also has the vision and the attacking mentality to get forward and create in the final third.  This versatility will strengthen our midfield considerably and will give her an opportunity to make an early impact."
