Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen. "When you get injured like that, and have such a passion for the sport, you make it your first priority (to get back) and you have to have the passion and determination to keep going and move past the setback."
