WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue soccer coach Drew Roff has announced that Charlotte Cyr, a first team all-conference goalkeeper in 2022, will join the program as a graduate transfer for the 2023 season.
From Wethersfield, Connecticut, Cyr comes to Purdue from Dartmouth College, where she had a breakout 2022 season. Cyr will be available to play immediately in the fall with one year of eligibility remaining.
“Charlotte is a fantastic addition to our program,” Roff said. “She is a high-character person and a very athletic and experienced goalkeeper. I look forward to her making an impact in the fall.”
“I chose Purdue because it will push me towards academic and athletic excellence,” Cyr said. “The academic curriculum seems challenging and engaging, while the athletic environment is both competitive and positive. I am excited to play with top-tier players and under a great coaching staff!”
Cyr earned First Team All-Ivy honors and NEWISA All-New England accolades during an impressive 2022 campaign at Dartmouth. She was ranked No. 9 nationally with 109 saves, eighth-most in team history and the most since 1999, and was 13th in the NCAA with 6.41 saves per game. Cyr also paced the conference with a .832 save percentage, five shutouts and 1,447 minutes played. While starting all 17 of Dartmouth’s games, also a league-best among goalkeepers, Cyr recorded a 1.37 goals-against average.
After a career-high 15-save, shutout performance at Yale on October 8, Cyr earned Ivy League Player of the Week and College Soccer News National Team of the Week honors. That came six days after a 10-save outing at Princeton, and she closed out the season with another 10 saves at Cornell on November 5. Cyr opened the year with a pair of shutouts, including with nine saves at Sacred Heart in a 2-0 win on August 28.
