Star Stanford women's soccer goalkeeper Katie Meyer, 22, found dead on campus

A Stanford University student found dead on campus has been identified as Katie Meyer, the team captain and star goalkeeper for the 2019 Cardinal women's national champion soccer team, CBS San Francisco reports.

While not disclosing any details surrounding Meyer's death, the university said the campus was in a state of mourning and that grief counselors were available.

"It is with great sadness that we report that Katie Meyer, a senior majoring in International Relations and minoring in History, a Resident Assistant, and a team captain and goalkeeper on the Stanford Women's Soccer Team, has passed away," university officials said in a news release. "Please join us in offering our deepest condolences to her parents and sisters. We would also like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Katie's friends, hallmates, classmates, teammates, faculty and coaches."

"Katie was extraordinarily committed to everything and everyone in her world," the statement continued. "Her friends describe her as a larger-than-life team player in all her pursuits."

The 22-year-old grew up in Burbank and excelled at soccer at an early age. She was a member of the U16 girl's national team that played matches in Italy and the Netherlands.

At Stanford, as a red-shirt freshman she made 16 starts in 2019 with a 0.26 goals-against average and a 0.818 save percentage. But she will always be remembered for her play in the shootout of the 2019 NCAA championship match. A video of Meyer went viral for her animated celebration after the second save of the shootout before teammate Kiara Pickett drilled her attempt to hand Stanford the trophy.
