“I am pleased to announce my commitment to play soccer with Sierra College. It has been my dream since I was young to play at Sierra, watching my cousin and role model excel in her role on the field. I want to thank Todd DeCarlo, BJ Glass, and Ron Benjamin for helping me in my soccer career – molding me into a better player, teammate, and person. I also want to thank my amazing goalie trainer, Bashar Alsakati, who helped me become a confident player and prides herself on the uniqueness of her position as a goalkeeper. 

My experience at Placer United has been nothing but accepting and wonderful, and I have grown significantly as a player while consistently competing at a high level. I want to thank my older cousins for being my role models and sparking my passion for playing. Finally, I want to thank my parents for supporting me through every aspect of my career thus far: always acknowledging my triumphs and helping me through my struggles. 

While it’s sad to see one chapter of my life end, I greatly anticipate what these next two years will have in store for me. Go Wolverines!”—Hannah Andreasen
