GROVE CITY — Sarah Cessar wants to coach a sport at the high school level.

She just doesn’t know which one. Soccer? Basketball? Track and field?

Such is the life for Cessar, who was a multiple-sport star at Slippery Rock High School and did the same at Grove City College.

“I get that question a lot,” Cessar said of her future coaching plans. “I think I would be comfortable coaching any of them.”

Cessar certainly has been comfortable playing them.

She was a solid performer at Slippery Rock in all three sports, helping the Rockets basketball and soccer team to the playoffs annually.

At Grove City College, she played basketball for the Wolverines during her freshman season, averaging 14 minutes per game off the bench.

She decided to focus on soccer, but also has been one of the best performers in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Cessar holds the school record in the event with a time of 11 minutes, 27.26 seconds.

It’s been her play on the soccer field, though, that has brought Cessar the most recognition. This week the senior midfielder was named First Team All-Great Lakes Region for the second consecutive season.

“It’s pretty flattering to make it two years in a row,” Cessar said. “It means the coaches think highly of me and my style of play. I owe a lot to my teammates and coach (Melissa) Lamie.”

Cessar finished her soccer career at Grove City College with 18 goals and 11 assists in 73 career games. She started 63 of those games and the Wolverines posted a 50-28-6 record during her career.

This season was one of Cessar’s best. She was second on the team in goals (seven), assists (six) and total points (20).

Cessar was also a First Team All-PAC selection for the second consecutive year.

Grove City was successful as a team this season as well, going 12-9-1 overall while playing a very challenging schedule and advanced to the ECAC South semifinals, where they lost to top-seed Stevenson in a shootout.

“We definitely had high expectations going into the season,” Cessar said. “Our strength of schedule was very helpful. Once we got into the PAC season, we dominated.”

Cessar said she was blessed to be able to experience multiple sports at the college level.

It’s a luxury most collegiate athletes can’t enjoy.

“All the different people I met and all the friendships I made I will always remember,” Cessar said.

Cessar had an added bonus this season on the soccer team. She got the chance to play with her younger sister, Anna, a sophomore who transferred to Grove City College this fall.

“Oh my gosh, I couldn’t have asked for anything better,” Cessar said. “I was so excited when she decided to transfer here. She made the decision to play late, in mid-summer. She was helping me prepare for the soccer season and she said it was something she wanted to try.”

Both Cessars fit in on a team that was very close.

“In high school, I was super close with the other upperclassmen, but not as close with the underclassmen,” Sarah Cessar said. “Here, I hung out with freshmen and it wasn’t weird. We all had a unified goal and I was so happy to be on a team like that. I have never been on a team like that before.”

Cessar, who will be wrapping up her education degree this spring, is already pondering her coaching future while looking back on her playing career.

When asked what her favorite sport was, Cessar paused before answering.

“I would have to say soccer,” she said. “I never really got burned out on soccer. I never played it year-round. It was always something I did in the fall — it’s soccer season.”

As far as coaching, anything goes for Cessar.

“Soccer or basketball,” she said. “Those are the two I feel most comfortable with.”
