- Emily Zurrer is a Canadian soccer player considered to be one of the premier female soccer players in the country. Zurrer has played for the Canadian national women's team, notably at the 2002 FIFA U-19 World Championships and the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003. She played for Vancouver Whitecaps, formerly played for University of Illinois and played for Canada in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She represented Canada in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, starting every game in the defensive backfield, before returning to lead Illinois to the Sweet 16 during her senior season. Zurrer ended her career as one of the most decorated players in Illini history. She was the first three-time All-American in program history and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors three years in a row. Additionally, Zurrer was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Year during her sophomore campaign. During her tenure on the back line, Illinois produced 42 shutouts and gave up the second-fewest goals in program history in 2008, allowing just 19. Zurrer is also very active off the field, taking a lead role in Illinois' Hometown Heroes program, which includes visits to local elementary schools and senior centers, in addition to involvement with Read Across America, Carle Pediatrics, Relay for Life, Yankee Ridge After School Program, Crisis Nursery Holiday Shop and Big Brothers Big Sisters. She will earn a degree in advertising next month and has received much acclaim for her academic prowess, earning Academic All-Big Ten honors on two occasions. Soccer coach Janet Rayfield spoke highly of Zurrer. "Emily keeps everything in perspective and weathers the ups and downs of life and of athletics with an amazing positive demeanor and a constant smile. She has lofty goals and goes after them with intent and purpose. She is in simple words - a positive life force."
