April
14, 2005 – Head
Coach Jeff Lean announced today the signing of the first
international player for the Lady Comets soccer team,
Sarah Harrison of Newmarket, ON Canada. Harrison will
graduate from Huron Heights Secondary School with a 3.7
GPA this spring. She has been accepted into the Honors
Program at Crichton and will begin work on a degree in
Psychology this fall.
Harrison,
Crichton's second signed goalkeeper in a month for the
Comets, brings a pretty impressive resume. "Sarah
is an excellent goalkeeper who has played at a high
level, both at home and overseas," said Coach Jeff
Lean. "She brings a lot of experience to the
position and does all the little things right. She is a
very vocal goalkeeper who has the ability to play with
her feet as well as make the big save."
Harrison,
who has been a goalkeeper since the age of six, now
plays for Richmond Hill Raiders of the Ontario Youth
Soccer League Premier League. In 2004, she captained the
Bryst International Team which toured Britain, playing a
variety of women's professional teams including
Manchester United FC, Manchester City FC, Wiggan FC and
Tranmere FC.
"We
now have two excellent goalkeepers on our squad. I am
thrilled to have this kind of talent in, what I
consider, the most important position on the field. I
expect that both goalkeepers will compete and make an
immediate impact," said Coach Lean
