New Ute: Cheyanne Mulcock - Goal Keeping at its Fiercest


The first thing you need to know about new Ute goal keeper, Cheyanne Mulcock, is the name...it is pronounced "shy - ann"...however, Chey is not shy! She is aggressive about protecting her goal. And she is vocal in organizing things her defense.




Here is Cheyanne (far left) at her signing party on Wednesday with some teammates, including fellow Ute signee Harley Spier (far right)...We love the red!

"Chey" is a from Bingham High School. She plays for Utah Avalanche, one of the best local girl's club teams and the home of current Utah captain Lauren Porter. Chey and Lauren were both coached by former Utah great Jo Barney. Their Avalanche Club Team won the Surf Cup Tournament in the Fall of 2009; quite an accomplishment as they were the first Utah girl's club team to attain this success!

Cheyanne will join current sophomore, Hannah Turpen, and fellow signee Hallie Koeppen to form the goal keeping corps for next fall's Utah team.


Here is what Coach Manning says about Cheyanne:
"Chey is a fierce competitor. She will do everything in her power to keep the ball out of her net. She is a tremendous shot stopper and is great with her feet. Chey is a good leader, which is very important in goal. We love her command of the penalty area as well. She is not afraid to come off her line to cut out danger."
