Rowan Epps, a 2025 defender from Bishop Miege High School, is the muscle on the backline that collegiate soccer coaches are looking for in a center back. Epps, a strong and high soccer IQ center back, has been the eyes for her team's defensive efforts for Bishop Miege varsity since her freshman year. Epps is a two time Kansas State Girls Soccer Champion with Bishop Miege High School and has helped lead to numerous shutouts for the Bishop Miege Defense.  Epp's intuition on the backline is crucial in the success of her team this spring and as Bishop Miege goes for its 8th consecutive Kansas State Girls Soccer Championship.

Epp's teammates describe Rowan as a dependable, cooperative, and hard working.

Epp's past and present coaches share their enthusiasm for Rowan's soccer future:
"Rowan's mentality in the moment is unmatched," shares KC Athletics club soccer coach Matt Gordon. Coach Gordon expands upon Epp's mental toughness, and soccer IQ, "She is a fierce competitor physically and tactically. As a Center Back, she is an imposing presence for the opposing attackers." While Coach Gordon emphasizes Epp's strength, he also sheds light on her creativity and skills. "On the ball, she's a creative threat. Her individual creativity makes her deceptive in her distribution and her vision of the field makes any option a threat."
