LADY BUSTERS GET 2ND COMMITMENT FROM SAN ANGELO

In December of 2007, Head Women’s Soccer Coach Jeff Huffman made his way down to the Dallas area for a third straight weekend in a row to see the college showcase known as the Arlington Showcase. While at the tournament, Coach Huffman saw the club team San Angelo United in competition and saw two players to his liking. With San Angelo being almost nine hours from Garden City, Coach Huffman did not know if he would even be able to get these two players to come for a campus visit. Little did he know that he would eventually-not only get them to come for a campus visit-but would eventually sign both of them to national letters of intent.

Christina Carrillo- an outside back/midfielder-becomes the second player off of the San Angelo United club team to commit to becoming a Lady Buster for the fall of 2008-joing club teammate Marissa Castillo. She also becomes the sixth commitment over all in the 2008 recruiting class. Carrillo has been a committed member to San Angelo United for four years, where her club side competed in both the Arlington Premier Classic League and the West Texas Premier League. Her team finished in 2nd place in the classic flight of the 2007 Austin Labor Day Cup. She also comes to the Lady Busters with one year of varsity high school experience with Central High School, located in San Angelo. Central High School has a student body population of 2,200 students, serving the 10th-12th grade.

“Christina has been a pleasure to work with through out the recruiting process,” Head Women’s Soccer Coach Jeff Huffman stated. “Christina first got in contact with me when I was in the New York Capital District of Albany, NY. I definitely feel that Christina can bring capital gains to the program, whether it be as an outside midfielder or providing depth in our outside back roles. One way or another, our program improves with her signing---as that is what one expects as this program continues to mature from its infancy.”
