Jenna played some great soccer last fall. It would be great to see her play soccer for the U of M when she is done with HS soccer.
Soccer Boy, I don’t think you read the article. Last line: “Roering has verbally committed to play soccer at Santa Clara University in the fall of 2013.”
Yeah, I read the article and I am well aware of her “verbal” commitment. After having been involved in college athletics myself, I know how verbal commitments can change with some encouragement from the hometown fans. Just expressing my opinion.
PS: Santa Clara or the U of M–I would go to Santa Clara. I love that place!!!
