ZachTheZip Posted July 4, 2010 Report Posted July 4, 2010 According to TopDrawerSoccer.com, Akron has received verbals from a trio of defenders from Las Vegas. Meghan Brascia, Lexa Green, and Hailey Kirkwood have all verbaled to Akron. They are all defenders on the same club, Neusport. To anyone more familiar with women's college soccer (Z.I.P.? Anyone?), is this common? Getting three players from the same club at the same position all at once? I have to imagine that coach Pfau will make sure they don't get seperated via redshirting some but not others. Great chemistry along the back line is not something to take for granted. Quote
UA Fan Posted July 4, 2010 Report Posted July 4, 2010 Just the fact that they're coming all the way from LV to Akron says a lot. And they'll have each other to help offset the distance from home. Would love to see the women's team catch up to the men and compete for soon. Quote

Alright, I'll let the rest of the gang in on the story. But what happens in Vegas, is supposed to ... Well, anyway, the three 2011 grads will join their clubmate -- Alex Luevano-Hardin who arrives in August as frosh goalkeeper. The Vegas-Akron route is a result of a trip in the opposite direction. Former Akron women's team goalkeeping coach Mike Hamilton joined former Akron men's assistant Mario Sanchez on the staff at UNLV when Sanchez took the UNLV men's HC job after Ken Lolla's departure in 2005. While, I believe Hamilton is no longer coaching at UnLuv -- Sanchez having rejoined his former mentor in Louisville -- he IS the Club GK Director for the Neusport FC in the LV Valley. And that's more of the story, though with the connection being begun -- and with UA playing in the rebels' tourney in September (vs UC-Davis and LBSU), there is the potential for more story to unfold. What happens in Vegas ends up in Akron? I'm not talking about the swingers' convention, BTW. Quote
