Maria Ramirez de Arellano '16 Recruiting Profile

I have always dreamed of playing with the United States Women's National Team! It's a pretty big goal I decided to achieve since I turned 13, but first I had to challenge myself. So I trained every day for two years to try out for the Puerto Rico U17 National Team. After all my hard work at the age of 15 I made the team, and I still am part of the team which is now U18. I traveled to Haiti with the national team for the Second Elimination Rounds in which we won 3rd place in the CFU (Caribbean Futbol Union). I really want to play College soccer in the states since there are a lot more opportunities out there to make a living out of it. I not only dream of playing in the USWNT, NWSL, WPS and NCAA, but I want to make it a goal of mine. When I set my mind to something I go out and get it! Another goal of mine is to play Division 1 or Division 2.
