Lots of local soccer seniors head to DI schools
February 4th, 2010 at Thu, 4th, 2010 at 11:32 am by Megan ManaganTuesday, I posted a quick blurb on this blog about the fact that two MIHS girls soccer players would be headed to play for Division I schools this coming fall. Turns out one of them was a member of another team setting an amazing precedent for girls soccer in Puget Sound.
As Issaquah Reporter sportswriter Kevin Endejan posted earlier, 16 players (the entire team) from the Crossfire ‘91 team will play soccer at college next year. That roster includes Mary Hill, a senior at MIHS, who will play at Seattle University this fall.
See my story in next week’s paper after talking to Hill and her best friend and teammate Erin Bourguignon.
