New Ute: Monica Continues Bountiful HS Connection

The Utes have had many good players come from Bountiful High School...Monica Okapal is the newest member of the entering Class of 2009...and the latest Bountiful High School product of coach Dave Wigham's program. Monica suffered a traumatic ACL injury to her knee in 2007 and missed her junior year of high school soccer. However, she came back strong as a senior to score over 25 goals and lead the Braves to the State Final game in class 4A this year.

Names such as Carisse Winegar and current players Christine Quinn and Chelsea Forbes will ring familiar with Utah Soccer fans. And Monica will bring the same kind of talent and competitiveness to the U.

Welcome, Monica!
