While with the Rams:

Getting Started: Pierson saw action in 15 games during her first season with the Rams, including a start against national ranked Virginia on August 31, 2008.   

On the Scoresheet: In a 3-1 VCU victory over on September 21, 2008, Pierson saw her name appear on the score sheet with a shot on goal, her only shot of the season.

The Energizer Bunny: The VCU coaching staff became accustom to calling Pierson’s name whenever they felt they needed a burst of energy as Pierson could be seen bouncing around the field all year long.  

Lady in Red: Pierson’s red shoes became a fan favorite at most of the VCU games in 2008.  

Prior to VCU:

On the Court and On the Pitch: Soccer was not the only sport Pierson thrived at in high school. She could also be found schooling people on the hardwood during all four seasons at Park View.

Dancing in the District: Pierson was a regular at the district tournaments with a combined six appearances in district tournaments between her basketball and soccer squads.

Captain x 3: During her final three seasons with the Patriots, Pierson was named team captain on the soccer squad.  

Friendly with the scoring column: Pierson ranked in the top two in goals and assists in three out of her four seasons at Park View. She missed one year due to an ACL injury in the first scrimmage prior to her junior season.

District Dazzler: On two occasions, Pierson earned All-District honors, including First-Team accolades during her sophomore campaign.

Too Hot to Handle: Along with incoming teammates Lauryn Hutchinson, Ashley Grant and Christiana Hambright, Pierson was a seven-year member of the Loudoun Hotshots club team that made appearances in the State Final Four during all four seasons.

Obviously not a Bon Jovi fan: Pierson was recruited by two CAA schools, George Mason and VCU. She obviously did not want to hear “Livin’ On a Prayer” for four straight years.    

Getting to Know Paige

Familiar with the Siegel Center: Pierson’s trip down I-95 from Northern Virginia started to become a familiar one during high school when she regularly attended VCU women’s basketball camp, including earning the MVP award and making the All-Star during the summer of 2007.

 Party of Two?: Along with working some summer soccer camps, Pierson also worked part-time as a hostess at Applebee’s.
