Emily Curry Commits to Chico State

Posted On March 10, 2015 by PUSC

“I am so excited to say that I have verbally committed to Chico State! It has been a long process and I never would have even had the chance to play college soccer without the help of my parents. I don’t know how to thank them enough for all they have done. I also want to thank my teammates for being my sisters and say good luck to the ones headed off next year. I would like to thank all my Placer coaches. First, thank you John Chimienti for taking me in at U13’s and really developing my foot skills; Bart Morefield for bringing our team back together; Todd DeCarlo for starting me in the college process, and spending so much time with us making everyone so much better; and finally Ron Benjamin. Ron, thank you so much for improving me not only in the last year but throughout all my years in Placer. Even though you weren’t my coach, you let me practice and play with your teams which really brought confidence to my eyes and taught me a lot. As well as helping me with the game, you have done a tremendous job helping me throughout my college process. I’m excited to have you as a coach again next year so I can grow as a player and a person even more! I am beyond excited to spend my last year with my Placer family and then have the opportunity to head to Chico to continue playing for the amazing coach, Kim Sutton. I truly believe I will become a better athlete and person all around at Chico with Coach Sutton as my coach.” —Emily Curry
