New Ute: Jen Ericson - Sacramento Speedster

(photo from Sacramento Bee)
Jen Ericson is a Midfielder/Outside Defender who will be joining us from Sacramento, CA! Ericson attends Christian Brother's High School. She grew up playing for the Boca Jrs. Club, and is now a member of the San Ramon Shock squad. An interesting fact about Jennifer- she was coached as a kid by former University of Utah Assistant Coach Gabe Bolton...small world! We couldn't be more excited to have this young talent joining us this fall!

Here is what Coach Manning is saying about Jen:
"Jen has two qualities that we prize in our players. She has excellent speed and quickness and she makes great decisions with the ball. We value those things highly and that will help her fit right in with our current players come August. Jen has a great sense of the game and has a great passing touch. She is also very comfortable on the left side. She can play on any row. We'll start training Jen in midfield, but she may end up at another spot."

Photos to come...
