Placer United alumna, Nicolette Lewis ’99, and her Texas Christian University women’s soccer team, advanced to the Sweet 16 in the DI NCAA Women’s College Cup yesterday in North Carolina.

TCU entered the tournament with an 11-1-1 record and had a first-round bye. In the second round, they faced off against the University of New Mexico, who boasted a 10-1 record entering the tournament. TCU won the game 6-2 and now moves into the Sweet 16 on May 5th to face today’s Georgetown versus South Carolina matchup winner.

Lewis, a standout midfielder for Placer United, sent a message to us yesterday thanking the coaching staff for their efforts to develop her as a player. “We made it to the Sweet 16! Thanks to the Placer United coaching staff for their help to develop me into the player I am today.”

Congratulations Nic, and good luck next week!

Go Placer! Go Horned Frogs!
