Cassidy is a fantastic player, and we are excited for her to join the Vandal family." -

Bradie will be one of the hardest-working players on the field and will give you everything she has each time out. We are excited to add Bradie to our roster." -

"Leiden is a creative attacking player that can do a little bit of everything. She is extremely technical and good in tight spaces. I have seen Leiden dribble through three or four defenders with ease. Leiden is an outstanding athlete, being recruited in sports other than soccer. One of my favorite things about Leiden is her ability to produce header goals. She has excellent timing and technique. I think Leiden can produce goals for Idaho in many ways." -
Jeremy Clevenger
"Leiden Huber carries a winning mentality in everything she does. On the field and off she works hard to prepare herself to be ready to help her team win games. She thrives when matches get tough and routinely finds ways to score goals that lead her team to victory. Her work ethic and drive to succeed will carry her to great heights." - Club coach Peter Stogsdill

"Pleasanton Rage is thrilled that Jaeden Nelson will be attending and competing for the University of Idaho. Jaeden is an outstanding soccer player and an exceptional young lady.

"Rebekah is going to be a great player for our defense for many years to come. She is tall, very fast, smart, and strong. Rebekah excels in 1v1 defending situations. I very rarely see her get beat on the dribble. Rebekah is a very versatile player that has the soccer I.Q. to be plugged into any position. She has a very high ceiling and is going to be a valuable asset to our defense." -
Jeremy Clevenger
"Bekah brings a great calmness to the game when she has the ball at her feet. She has become a defender that is very difficult to beat and makes it hard for attackers to get in behind. She puts herself in great places to be a terror to opposing attacking players and never leaves them alone. Her versatility is unmatched as she can play anywhere in the backline as well as the 6." Club coach Tiffany Roberts
Mia Zubiate
Chandler, Ariz. | Hamilton HS | Arizona Arsenal ECNL
Zubiate played for Hamilton High School where she was named All-State, All-Region, and All-Conference. During the 2019-20 season, Zubiate scored 8 goals and 10 assists, while in the 2018-19 season she led Arizona in goals (14) and assists (20). She is a member of the National Honor Society.
"Mia is a special player and will be fun to watch in an Idaho jersey. She is a creative attacking player that has so many skillsets in her game. She is smart, technical, dangerous on the dribble, precise with her passing, and hard working. When Mia has the ball, good things happen. She definitely makes us better in our attack and I am looking forward to her contributing next season." -
Jeremy Clevenger
"Mia Zubiate is one of the most coachable players I have ever had within a team. She has a strong upside at the next level and as a left footed player Mia brings the ability to change the game at any moment when the ball is at her feet. She is creative, high energy and her work rate is unmatched on the field. The Vandals are getting a good one from Arizona!" - Club Coach Summer Anderson
