College Career:
Mezwa looks to continue working on adapting her game to the competitive college level, and also wants to improve her mental game so she can see the field better and physically improve her stick skills. Mezwa is an explosive attacker who has a drive to goal like no other on the team. She sees the goal and goes for it, with multiple unstoppable moves that help her take it all the way. Katie is also a formidable player when redefending, as she is patient and quick-footed on defense, and often gets off the take-away check that turns the ball back over to her team. Katie hopes to join the Peace Corps and work for the United Nations, and is thoroughly enjoying her "Social Justice" class at Michigan as it helps her prepare to do those things after graduation. She is an International Studies major.
