That her family and friends would experience peace that only God himself could provide during this tragedy. Leslie has impacted more people through her life and death than they will ever know.

As a soccer coach I am saddened by this tragedy. We here at Perrysburg lost our coach this past year and have a player still in a comma form a recent car accident. For we all know that it is difficult to continue at times but you will find the strength, courage, and love to continue. Remember Leslie for the wonderful person and player that she was and dedicate the remainder of the season to your friend and fellow player.

The best of luck in these playoffs, and our prayers will be with you.

My heart is very heavy with the passing of this young woman. Though I never met Leslie, I follow the women's soccer team and was so happy with the success they had attained...especially with so many young players like Leslie. Her friends and teammates say what a joy she was. My thoughts are with her family, teammates, coaches, friends and the university. May God keep all of you under His infinite compassion. God bless all of you.

As the father of a BGSU freshman athlete myself, I feel especially touched by your loss. I can tell by her photo that Leslie was a beautiful young lady and I am sure she was the light of your life and that she was loved by many. May the Lord comfort you and strengthen you during these difficult days. You are in my prayers.

Gary Carl Woodhaven, Michigan
As a soccer fan of one of the Michigan MAC Universities I am saddened by this tragedy. I recall this year BGSU tying Eastern in the last 6 seconds of the game, I commented at the time to one of the players on the Eastern team, that BGSU was a terrific example of never giving up. As it is difficult for the team in these times to just put one foot in front of the other, I am in awe of the team's courage, and am uplifted from the love they have shown for this young player and her family by continuing their courageous play and still never giving up.

The best of luck in these playoffs, and my prayers will be with you.

Ron... Orlando, FL
I'm at a loss for words...Leslie is such a wonderful young lady - I only hope my two young daughters grow up to be the kind of student-athlete-daughter and friend that Leslie was...God Bless.

My thoughts go out to Leslie's family, and letting her family know that they always have an extended Bowling Green "family" that will always keep Leslie's memories in our hearts. Although I never knew here personally, it does not seem to matter as she touched so many people and we all will miss her.

I personally did not know Leslie, but being an athlete here at B.G.S.U, I can honestly say that she will be greatly missed. We, as an athletic community have not only lost an athlete, but a member of "our" family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dawley family and the Women's soccer team in their time of loss.
