Paola's Big Day






Ute senior midfielder, Paola Marsenaro, had a day to remember (as did all of us). Paola was born in Uruguay but moved with her family to the U.S. at age 5 in 1988. She finally returned and got to play in front of her grandmother, cousins, and family friends who all shouted loudly each time she touched the ball. Paola has been hampered a bit by a knee strain suffered late last fall, but started the game and played about 65 minutes of good soccer.

After the game, she was warmly welcomed by the members of the Uruguay team....she was interviewed by the local newspaper and TV station. She met with family and friends and became the "bell of the ball". We have some photos and a video with Paola and her family.
OLE P!
