Kalanquin, a center midfielder from Toledo, Ohio, helped Sylvania Northview High School continue its decade of dominance as the team won its tenth straight Northern Lakes League title during her senior year. The three-year varsity letterwinner also served as a captain in her final season. She was an NLL Honorable Mention selection as both a sophomore and junior.

"The team and I are very excited about Libby’s commitment,” said MVNU head coach Jonathan Meade, who has posted a 134-61-7 overall record in nine seasons with the Lady Cougars. "She left a great impression with our team on her visits and that really stuck in the minds of our players. She just has one of those pleasant personalities you don’t forget. She will definitely fit in well with the current personality of the team.”

"Libby is an excellent player and will add to our quickness, tactical intelligence, and work ethic at midfield,” added Meade. "Having played for Sylvania Northview and Greater Toledo Futbol Club, she has had experience playing against the top players in Ohio and the region. This will serve her well and I expect she will make a quick transition to the college game. Besides playing soccer, she has excelled in the classroom and is very active in her church. These qualities have shaped her into a fine young adult. I look forward to coaching Libby over the next four seasons.”

In addition to playing soccer at Sylvania Northview, Kalanquin also participated in track and field and basketball. She also was active in student government, class government, National Honor Society, Young Life, homecoming court, Acapella Choir, Symphonic Choir, St. Gregory Choir, and Women’s Chorus Choir. She has also been involved in several community service projects including coordinating an Autism Walk and serving as a peer tutor.

"There are many reasons why I chose to attend MVNU,” said Kalanquin. "When I came to visit, I spent the night with one of the players. Not only did I feel welcomed by the whole team when I got there, they also made me feel like I was a part of the team that day. I just had this feeling like that is where I was supposed to play. They also have a good pre-medicine program.”

MVNU finished the 2008 season with a 16-8-1 overall that included a 9-3-1 mark in the American Mideast Conference. The Lady Cougars have won at least a share of four conference titles in the past six years and have claimed two National Christian College Athletic Association national titles during that span (2003 and 2006).
