Kopec played one year of high school soccer and was named a varsity captain and earned Western Mass Super 7 honors.  Kopec was invited last summer to go on Trial with the Manchester United Women's Soccer Club First Team. There she trained for 2 weeks and then got to play in a friendly match. 

Kopec chose Villanova because, "not only has the soccer program proven to be battling to become one of the best in the country, but I also fell involve with the college itself. The second I stepped onto campus, I knew I could see myself calling Nova home for four years, no doubt in my mind. When I first met Coach McLain and Coach Geldernick, they made me, and my family feel unbelievably welcomed and treated us like we were already apart of the Wildcat family. As excited as I am to represent Villanova on the soccer field, I am just as excited to be a part of the community inside the school. I am super grateful to be able to further my education at such a prestigious university with outstanding academics, which is another reason why I picked Villanova. Finally, the college itself is gorgeous and in an amazing area that is not too far from home but not too close. The community of students and faculty who have such a shared love and excitement for the school also drew me in. This community is one that I hoped to find, and when I found it at Villanova, I knew it was the right place for me."
