Harley Spier joins us from down south...Lehi, Utah. This defender attends Lehi High School (same as current outstanding defender Nicole Cardon!) and plays for the Utah Avalanche, where
she is currently teammates with incoming freshman Cheyanne Mulcock.
Harley is a tenacious defender. She can disrupt an attack with pesky marking or a crunching tackle. She has a great understanding of team defending. And she is fantastic in the air...the ball seems to be a magnet for her head! Harley will play either in the center of defense or at holding midfield.
Here she is at her signing party with Avalanche:
And here is what Coach Manning has to say about Harley:
"Harley is a very good overall defender. She is incredible in the air. I would guess that she heads the ball as well as anyone on our team. She understands team defense and is a good organizer. We also love the intangibles she will bring to the team... good leader, great teammate, excellent work ethic. Harley spent her junior year fighting off illness and injury and we're excited that she is healthy and coming back into form!"
Welcome to the U!
