Second female WSC player this year to sign a soccer scholarship

 

Jordan Mayer who plays for the U18 '87 Williamsburg Phoenix today announced that she has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend and play soccer at Wingate University in North Carolina . The school is a NCAA Division Two school located in Wingate , NC about 35 miles east of Charlotte , NC . The Bulldogs play in the South Atlantic Conference and were 11-9-0 in 2005.

 

Jordan has been with the Williamsburg Soccer Club (WSC) since 1999 when she moved here from Kansas . She has represented the club at the club level, Super Y League and ODP. She has also been a mentor in the WSC developmental programs, helping coach the youngest players in our club. Jordan was a member of the ’87 team that reached the Virginia State Cup Final Four in 2003, the only WSC girls team to make it that far in State Cup.

 

Jordan said, “I would like to thank Johnny Kamara, Richard Butler and Kwame Lloyd for helping me stay motivated after my two ACL surgeries. Hard work and the love of soccer have gotten me where I am today.  I also really enjoyed helping Johnny with all of the developmental programs. I loved working with all of the kids”. “ Jordan has been a pleasure to be around during her time at the club”, commented Director of Coaching, Richard Butler. “She is a left sided player who has the ability to get behind defenders and get in on goal. She has a tricky and creative side to her that shows some great technical skill that is a joy to watch. I’ve enjoyed having her in our program for the past seven years. She has been a pleasure to be around always training hard and bringing a touch of humor to our sessions. I hope she has a great collegiate career.”
