Posted On January 31, 2016 by PUSC

“I’m overjoyed to announce my decision to attend and play soccer at Chapman University this fall. I truly believe I couldn’t have found a better academic or athletic fit for me. First, thank you to all of the teammates I’ve had at Placer throughout the past five years, who have been instrumental in shaping me as a player and an individual. You have always pushed me to improve my game, and I consider myself very lucky for having gotten the chance to play with each of you. Another thanks to all the coaches I have had at Placer since I joined the club as a 13-year-old. To Coach Kevin Unsworth: thank you for always pushing me to improve the technical aspects of my game and for helping me to rediscover the passion I have always had for soccer. To Coach Todd Decarlo: thank you for helping me discover my desire to play soccer at the collegiate level, for believing in me enough to promote me to a higher level team midway through my U16 season, and for being invaluable to the development of every aspect of my game. To Coach Katie Burton: thank you for your encouragement and for helping me develop as a player in just the few months you coached our team. To Coach Ron Benjamin: thank you for all of your assistance in the college process this year and in prior years, and for always pushing me to play faster and smarter. I’d also like to thank Rocklin High’s Coach Paul Morrison for helping me to step up as a leader and embrace my versatility as a soccer player. Finally, thank you to my parents, whose endless encouragement and unwavering confidence in me has helped me to recognize my full potential and make my college aspirations a reality. Thank you guys for all of the time, money, and energy you’ve dedicated to my soccer career. Your support means everything to me. I can’t wait to join the Chapman family and play under Coach Courtney Calderon next year. Go Panthers!” — Faith Holloway
