Collegian @UMassWSoccer forward Jackie Bruno opens up about her battle with Lyme disease

Adam Aucoin of the Daily Collegian has a feature on Jackie Bruno and her battle with Lyme disease which has caused her to miss the 2015 campaign. Despite not being able to play during her senior season, Bruno strives to help the program succeed from the sideline.

"I always tried to instill that family vibe," she said. "These girls are like my sisters. I would do anything for them, and I know they have my back like I have theirs."
