Cardinal In The Spotlight

Rebecca Jelenc

Year: Senior

Pos.: Defense

Hometown: Sheboygan, WI

Major: Biology

From Coach Mannor: “Rebecca is an extremely solid defenseman who is, unfortunately, often penalized simply because she is physically stronger than many of her opponents. Always one of the team’s hardest workers, Rebecca has become an offensive threat from the point.”
