Jordan Costello Memorial Girls Soccer Scholarship
In memory of Jordan Costello
Jordan Costello was a young woman of uncommon character and strength. She was the best friend everyone wished they had. #4 was known for her tireless hard work and effort on and off the soccer field. Her dedication to the game of soccer, which she loved, and her fierce loyalty to her family, friends, and her team and school made her special. She was the model of personal sacrifice for the greater good of the team with her positive attitude and her unconditional love and support which she freely gave every one of her teammates, at times to her own detriment. Jordan never judged others unfairly, and she never, ever, complained. More than anything, Jordan Costello earned the love and respect of her coaches, her teammates and even her opponents by her passion for the game and always putting others and their needs before herself. She listened. She cared. She was Jordan.
