Student-Athlete Spotlight

Name: Caeli Abeyta

Hometown: Temecula, Calif.

Nickname: Chay-Sauce

Major: Public Relations with a Business Minor

Favorite thing about WSU: The isolated location of Pullman has led me to meeting many interesting people and creating lasting memories.

Heroes: Lionel Messi, Juan Pierre, Tina Fey.

Best Career Soccer Moment: Our win over Princeton at Notre Dame (in 2007). There was a great energy about everyone that day.

Most Embarrassing Moment: My freshman year, we played at Oregon. I was asked to get ready to go into the game, so I got off the bench to warm up. It was a rainy day and my pants and jacket were way too big on me, so inevitably I fell in front of our entire bench and coaching staff. The best part was that my oversized hood on my jacket covered my entire head after the fall and the worst part was that no one laughed for about 10 seconds.

Hobbies (other than soccer): Snowboarding, long-boarding, playing guitar, watching old movies and reading.

Favorite TV Show: The Office, Gossip Girl, Saturday Night Live.

Favorite Band: The Beatles

In Five Years Time...I hope to finish grad school and living in the city with a career that is sports-related.

Favorite Quote: "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."
