Braveheart Award Presented To Jillian Del Rosario
(May 28, 2008) –The Braveheart Award is given to a UCR coach or student athlete who demonstrates exemplary courage during the academic year and the 2007-08 recipient is the very definition of courage. On October 19, 2007 senior midfielder Jillian Del Rosario went up for a header in a home match against Cal State Northridge, collided with the Matadors keeper, and was immediately knocked unconscious. She was rushed to the hospital where it was determined that she had lost temporary speech and motor control.
The injuries Del Rosario sustained forced her to withdraw from school as she underwent weeks of intense rehabilitation. She vowed to return for the team's final home game, Senior Day, and she did so giving an emotional pregame speech. Del Rosario also returned to school in the winter taking a full course load as she was determined to graduate with her class. She is on track to graduate this spring, earning all As and Bs in the process, and is currently applying to graduate school.
