- 2015 Flathead Soccer Club MT (Select)
- I played mostly left, outside defensive back this season. My role was to use my speed to sweep from the back line and diffuse attacks from the right side. I was able to start of number of counter attacks, resulting in 6 assists and scoring 4 goals this year. We had a new coach this year, so he was unfamiliar with the new players. We competed in the Boise Performance Cup in Boise, ID and the Three Blind Refs Tournament in Kalispell, MT this year, competing against teams from Idaho, Washington, and Canada. For the latter part of the season, I was moved to center mid, where I have since scored 6 goals and had 13 assists.
