The 2020–2021 season marks the 50th anniversary of women’s sports at Princeton University. The relative newness of the women’s athletic program is a rather striking and timely reminder that women’s collegiate sports are still in their infancy.

However, I knew that all of my teammates and coaches were grieving in their own way. I knew athletes across the country were trying to cope, too.
