Stanford players honor late Cardinal women's soccer star with special Final Four warm-ups

• Stanford basketball players wore special soccer warm-ups ahead of their Final Four game.
• The gesture honored late Cardinal women's soccer player Katie Meyer, who died by suicide last month.

MINNEAPOLIS — Stanford Cardinal players wore soccer warm-ups ahead of Friday's Final Four matchup against UConn.

The unusual move was actually a heartfealt gesture; the team was honoring late women's soccer star Katie Meyer, who died by suicide on campus early last month.

The white T-shirts were rather understated, with a Stanford soccer logo on the front and "NIKE SOCCER" printed on the back, but those familiar with Meyer's legacy with the Cardinal and untimely death surely picked up on the subtle message. Players also wrote Meyer's initials on white tape wrapped around their wrists.

Meyer was a beloved member of the women's soccer community. She made headlines in 2019 after helping Stanford to the national championship with several key saves in the title game.
