Two Transfers to Join Lady Jacket Soccer Team (Mar. 15, 2004)

BILLINGS, MT – Head women’s soccer coach Don Trentham has announced that two junior college transfers have signed to play for the Yellowjackets next season.  Lacey Albrent will transfer from Ventura County Community College, and Sarah Wilcox will transfer from Walla Walla Community College.

Albrent played two seasons at Ventura County C.C.  A native of Ojai, CA, she was a high school teammate of current Yellowjacket Ally Taylor, who was an All-West Region second team selection last season as a freshman for the Yellowjackets.  Albrent was a three-year letter winner at Nordoff High School where she earned All-CIF honors as a senior. 

“Lacey is an excellent central defender who is technically and tactically sound,” said Trentham.  “She brings two years of junior college experience to our team, and I believe she has the versatility to also play as a central midfielder if we were to need her there.”

Wilcox started all 46 games in her two seasons at Walla Walla CC.  She earned all-conference and academic all-conference honors.  A native of Boise, ID, Wilcox was her team’s offensive MVP three times at Borah High School, earning first team All-Southeastern Idaho honors as a senior.

“Sarah comes to us from a junior college program that has a good tradition in the Northwest,” said Trentham.  “Having played two years for John Charman (WWCC head coach), I am certain that Sarah is coming here with an excellent understanding of the game.  She has the ability to step in and contribute immediately in the back.”
