She’s one of the best players for a nationally ranked Arkansas women’s soccer program. She’s been named to an All-SEC First Team, and is a constant scoring threat. But Parker Goins almost didn’t end up at Arkansas. Recruited by soccer powerhouse North Carolina—a program that’s won 21 of 31 national titles—why did Goins choose the on-the-rise Razorbacks? Friendship played a key role there, as it does throughout her story. Goins only started playing soccer because she wanted to spend time with her friends. And since then, those friends have been by her side for all the big moments, both good and bad. Now a senior, Goins is ready to take the SEC by storm once again. And as always, her friends will be right there with her.
