The latest edition of "Where Are They Now" features Lizzie Paul. Lizzie, who now goes by the last name Hornack, was a standout forward for the Davenport women's soccer program from 2010-13. The Manchester, England native is the Panthers' all-time leader in points (131), points per game (1.9), goals (55), goals per game (0.8), game-winning goals (14), shot attempts (329), shots per game (4.77), shots on goal (144), and shots on goal per game (2.09).

During your four years as a Panther, Davenport went 56-18-7 for a 73.5 winning percentage and you helped take the program to new heights. What did those four years mean to you and what did you take away from those experiences?
Those four years were truly the best four years of my life. I wouldn't have wanted to share my experiences with anyone other than my teammates. I am still very close to a bunch of the girls. In fact, four of them stood by my side on my wedding day as my bridesmaids and we are friends for life! There were a lot of ups and downs in my four years, but one thing I learned is that you need to enjoy the good times and grind out the hard times.

Your senior season, Davenport won a school-record 19 matches and made it all the way to the NAIA quarterfinals, what are your fondest memories from that season?
Thinking back to the 2013 fall season truly brings butterflies to my stomach. It was by far the best year I had at Davenport. From day one, that team's chemistry was there and everything clicked, everything we had been working towards for three years. I remember it like it was yesterday. Our first game of season was against Spring Arbor and they were ranked No. 3 in the nation so it was a huge challenge for us. Shameeka Fishley, a freshman, came on in the second half and scored a hat trick. After that game, we knew that season was going to be special. 

So many games my senior year went down in history, but the Madonna game at home halfway through the conference season was by far my favorite game, no question! We came back in double overtime after being behind for most of the game. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, yet we came together as a team and put 110% effort and belief into winning. This game stayed with us for the rest of the season. 

Heading to Orange Beach, Ala. for the first time was amazing. To reach the quarterfinals was something special. We played two games in less than 24 hours, it was tough on everyone, but everyone gave it their all. We had a lot of injuries going into the national tournament and to achieve what we did was just amazing. I am so glad I was able to experience that with my teammates.

Your name is all over the school's record books and you hold several program records, what are your thoughts on still being atop the record books?
What I accomplished at Davenport in my four years as a student-athlete will be something I remember forever. It was never a goal of mine nor did I pay attention to the record books throughout my career, I just gave it my all every game. I could not have achieved these records without my teammates. I had the best team and coaching staff around me making me better every day. To still have my name in the record books is a true honor, because some very special players have come through Davenport's program since I graduated.

At what point growing up did you think that you could play soccer collegiately?
Growing up in England, playing soccer was all I ever did and wanted to do. I always knew I wanted to play soccer in America ever since my coach told me about her playing experience in America when I was 10 years old. I loved the idea of playing soccer full time. By the time I was 16 and graduated high school (we graduate at 16 in England), I moved from my hometown in Manchester to London to play soccer and study at a college. That was when I knew that playing collegiately in America was all I wanted to do. My mind was set on making this happen.

Since graduating from Davenport in 2014, what have you been doing and how are you making a living?
After graduating with my undergrad in 2014, I stuck around as the Head JV Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach from spring 2014 to spring 2017 while I earned my masters degree in human resource management. After graduating with my masters, I moved on from Davenport and took a role at SCOR (Soccer Club Of Rockford) as a full-time soccer coach. In 2018, I was promoted to Director of Operations and Girls Director of Coaching. I am glad I found a job that I could pass on my knowledge, passion and love for the game to today's youth.

I still play competitively. In 2017, I played for GRFC and won a National Championship and that was an amazing feeling! In 2018, GRFC made it to the semifinals of the National Championship.  

I married Ryan Hornack (we met at Davenport when I was coaching. He was the sports information guy!) in September 2017 and in June 2019, we welcomed our first child, Oliver. We now reside in Rockford, Mich.
