New Ute: Goal keeper and Nurse in Training


Let's start with with the obvious connections right away... Hannah Turpen, goal keeper, comes from San Clemente High School and the So. Cal. Blues. Two places that are very familiar to Utah soccer. Current Ute seniors, Chelsea Card and Kiley Jones, are San Clemente grads and also played for the Blues. Ute freshman, Morgan Skeen, is also a Blues grad...assistant coach Laurel Roderick played for the Blues...and head coach Rich Manning started coaching on the girls side with the Blues...well that's a lot of company for Hannah...

Hannah is a terrific talent and a hard worker. She is explosive, courageous and has good range in the goal. She has excellent foot skills and communicates well with her teammates...all wonderful qualities for a 'keeper. We are excited about her current game as well as her determination to improve.

Hannah is also a wonderful young lady...and will be studying in our Nursing College. Let's see...tough soccer goalie by day and compassionate nurse by night....interesting!

Welcome to Hannah and her family!
