The death of the student in international relations and history occurred on the campus of the Californian university. The cause was not disclosed.
“There are no words to express the deep sadness we feel at the passing of Katie Meyer,” Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir said in a statement.
Arriving on the team in 2018, Meyer helped Stanford clinch the national championship in 2019 with two penalty shootout saves.
