ABBOTSFORD — Looking to improve upon their 6-5-3 record this past fall, the UFV Cascades women’s soccer team announced four recruits from the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland have committed to play for them this upcoming year, including Chilliwack standout Sarah Powley.
Powley, a 5’7″ defender from Surrey United SC, joins fellow defender Kenzie Fitzgerald (5’8″, Surrey United SC) and attacking players Keanna Bentley (5’9″ striker, Coastal FC) and Zoë Black (5’6″ striker/winger, Coquitlam Metro Ford SC) as the newest round of additions to the program. Powley’s presence will help bolster a defence that only surrendered one goal or less in 10 games last season.
“Sarah brings consistency and composure to the centre back position,” said UFV Cascades women’s soccer coach Ari Adams. “She is able to lead and instruct from the back line, and doesn’t back down from a tackle. Her composure and passing ability will bring more depth to our lineup.”
Powley said she chose UFV in part because of her desire to stay local, pursue nursing and join a talented soccer program.
