"Sophia has had an incredible career here at UVM and I am grateful for what she has given to our program," said head coach Kate Pfeifer.

We will miss her presence and look forward to watching her succeed in her next chapter."

A Bremen, Germany native, Drees finished her final season in Burlington with 22 points (seven goals, eight assists).

Drees finishes her career with 22 goals and 30 assists for 74 points. She sits sixth all-time in career points and first in career assists.
