Per University policies, updates on her condition will be communicated by appropriate Athletics Department staff. We and the family appreciate the outreach and outpouring of support for Kylie. She is a beloved student-athlete, not just here but in the entire collegiate soccer community. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers on her behalf."
