"I'm really happy I had this opportunity. Many people never get the chance to go out of the country and play soccer and experience new cultures, try new foods and make new friends," Urbanski said after she was honored with a proclamation at the Aberdeen Township Council meeting Tuesday night.

Urbanski will play soccer for Seton Hall University in the fall.
