NORFOLK – The Northeast Community College new women’s soccer team has added two new recruits to its fall 2016 roster and one of those is Blanca Lopez, a 2015 graduate of O’Neill Public High School.
Lopez has signed to play forward at Northeast. Previously, she played club soccer for four years.
“I have had the pleasure of seeing and coaching Blanca during some club tournaments,” said Miller. “She is a smart player and has good ball skills. She comes from a town without high school soccer, but there is a great love for soccer (in O’Neill). She will be a great addition to the women’s soccer program this fall.”
Lopez will join teammates Saige Hollum, Erika Kumm, Erika Medel and Zoe Serres, Norfolk, Kaitlyn Van Surksum, Omaha and Baylee Stockwell, Columbus, on the Hawks’ squad.
