Personal: Abigail Colmenares is daughter of Esperanza Siordia and David Colmenares. She is sister to Celeste, Bianca, and David Colmenares. Colmenares chose TAMIU because she felt welcomed and at home when she met both men's and women's soccer team along with the coaches. She also enjoyed the fact that the campus wasn't as big which is something she was used to. Her most inspirational figure is her grandmother because she followed her dreams in the midst of adversity. She (her grandma) was a hard worker on and off the field as she set her mind to be the best in all she did which inspired Colmenares to be the best player and person she could be. Her future aspirations and goals are to become a PE teacher as well as a soccer coach. She wants to become a coach to spread knowledge of the sport and teach future generations. Her favorite athlete is Carli Lloyd. Colmenares admires her style of play and vision on the field as well as her aggressiveness on and off the ball. In her spare time, Colmenares enjoys being with her family as she is very family oriented and holds it as the most important aspect in her life.
