2009 Big 12 Newcomer of the Week (Sept. 29)

SENIOR (2012): Krier played in every game of the season and made 15 starts. She was a strong defensive presence and worked as the Buffs' primary corner kicker. Krier led the team with five assists, including two in victories (2-1 over Wright State and 2-0 over Air Force) and one on the Buffs' goal against then-ranked No. 3 UCLA. She became one of just 16 players in CU history to have at least five assists in a single season. She tied Katie Griffin for third most assists by a CU senior and tied for 10th in assists among Pac-12 players.

JUNIOR (2011): She played in 15 games, including 11 starts. She took 11 shots, totaling just one shy of what she did in her first two seasons combined. She had four shots on goal, which doubled her career total. She played a season-high 97 minutes on September 30 against Arizona (2-2).

SOPHOMORE (2010): Krier played in 16 matches logging two starts for the Buffs. She attempted four shots with two on goal. She played a total of 393 minutes at the midfield position.

FRESHMAN (2009): Krier saw action in 18 games and started 10 during her first season as a Buffalo. She was the only CU freshmen to be named a Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
