Personal
Parents Chris and Kristi Smith… Sister, Mackenzie, played soccer at Clemson.
Why she chose Arkansas: “I chose the University of Arkansas because as soon as I arrived in Fayetteville, I felt at home. From the beautiful campus to the incredible family atmosphere, I knew this place was where I wanted to be. The coaches and team were so welcoming, and the energy and drive of the team is something I have always wanted to be a part of. I know that they will push me every day to be a better player, but most of all a better person.”
Hale on Smith: “Keegan is an all-state ACM, a track star and the sky is the limit for her in goal. She can play with her feet, has tremendous shot-stopping range and is comfortable off her line.”
