The Bay Area is a force in women’s soccer, and Sophie Jones is its latest contribution. Jones, a Quakes academy player and U.S. Soccer U-17 team member, is one of five finalists for 2018 youth player of the year.

Sophie is a defensive mid who will play for Duke University upon graduation from high school. Some of her accolades include being named the United Soccer Coaches Player of the Year, helping lead the U-17 women’s national team win its second straight CONCACAF title (2018), and starting for the United States in the 2018 U-17 Women’s World Cup (the United States did not make it out of group stage).

Hopefully the Quakes will have an NWSL team for her to continue her soccer career once she graduates.

Congrats, Sophie!!
