PLAYING BACKGROUND

Hilary is certainly a ‘Home grown’ talent.  She played soccer all through her youth years at Crusaders, PQ and Hotspurs. At PQ and Hotspurs she was playing at the premier level.  She was a big part of her Hotspur team winning Surf Cup.  She was a three-year varsity player at Patrick Henry High School where she helped lead the team to three Eastern league titles.  She was voted the “Outstanding Defender” in her senior year.  From there she traveled up the road to Grossmont College where she was team captain and was selected to the all-Pacific Coast Conference team.

COACHING

Hilary has coached the JV team at her alma mater (Patrick Henry) for the past two years.  She has helped guide the team to 2nd place finishes each year.  More importantly she helps encourage players and guide them to the varsity level.  She brings playing experience and energy to her players.
