Rachel has been an outstanding fullback for BOCA and she has been looking at numerous schools and has finally decided on what she thinks is the best one for her! She is undecided about her college major.
“I am currently a senior at Bella Vista High School and am going to attend and play at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, under head coach Luis Reis in the fall of 2010. Other details that helped me make my decison were: 10:1 student to teacher ratio, high academic majors to choose from, beautiful campus and surroundings, great financial aid package, and high caliber soccer resulting in 10 straight N.C.A.A. Natioanl Tournament appearances in a row.” Rachel
Erin Rost
My name is Erin Rost and I have played with Boca Soccer since U-12. I recently accepted my appointment to the United States Air Force Academy and plan to play soccer there. It has been my dream to attend the Academy since I visited Colorado Springs when I was 10 years old. Everything about the school appeals to me especially the opportunity to play soccer and experience a vast range of opportunities; then serve my country after.
I am so thankful of the support Boca has given me over the years. Each coach has helped in my development into both a strong player tactically but also a strong player mentally. I especially want to thank two coaches who have been with me since the beginning. My goalkeeper coach Connor McNulty, who has pushed me to become better than I ever thought I could be. Secondly Behranne, who believed in me even when I didn’t and was instrumental in talking with college coaches in the recruiting process. I am also thankful for the life long friends I have made through Boca. As I move on to my future both at the Air Force Academy and beyond I know the skills instilled in me through playing competitive soccer will allow me to stay true to the person I am.
