Whether she is attending team hangouts, meals, games or practices, she is treated like family. At the center of it all is her teammate, Zoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Charlotte and Zoe\u0308, Michigan Field Hockey\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/figEaISQ0oQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.teamimpact.org\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cZoe has been an incredible teammate to our daughter, Charlotte,\u201d Charlotte\u2019s family shared. \u201cShe works unbelievably hard to make sure that Charlotte is included in team events and gatherings, as well as planning lots of extra events and hangouts for Charlotte to spend time with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoe always makes sure to invite Charlotte to everything, going as far as organizing team activities that revolve around Charlotte\u2019s schedule, so she can attend everything.

Zoe and the team\u2019s genuine care for Charlotte have been instrumental in her transition to middle school. Giving her confidence and a sense of safety if she needs a place to fall back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cZoe is the big sister that our daughter needs and surrounds her with an entire team of friends and sisters who value Charlotte\u2019s presence\u201d Charlotte\u2019s family shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it be on the field, or at media day, Charlotte is always included in team events; she considers Zoe and the team as her \u201cbest friends,\u201d and she is so grateful for their presence in her life. This sisterhood shows us what Team IMPACT can create, a sense of security, belonging, and genuine care for one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"10741\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"No. 7-ranked Michigan field hockey team produced its greatest goal output in 45 years in its home opener, rolling to a 13-0 rout against Bellarmine\" class=\"wp-image-10741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1364&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte2-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-id=\"10742\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10\/03\/25 2025 Field Hockey vs. Penn State with a special event, MarciaPalooza, to celebrate Marcia Pankratz Win 2-1 FDH25\" class=\"wp-image-10742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Charlotte3-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Charlotte was matched with Michigan field hockey in 2024 through Team IMPACT, she gained more than a team to cheer for; she gained a sense of belonging, and a group of best friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":10746,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[33,18],"tags":[53],"mens-teams":[],"class_list":["post-10739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-match-stories","category-updates","tag-midwest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
