Victor Valley soccer players headed to Kansas

Six players from the Foothill Conference champion Victor Valley College women's soccer team have signed with NAIA Kansas Wesleyan, in Salinas. The group is led by conference player of the year Jackie Osuna and also includes Sarah Macy, Brittnie Bernardino, Teresa Candelario, Courtney Eargle and Anna Flores.

Rams coach Mike Bradbury has developed a rapport with Coyotes coach Mike Dibbini, who is a native of Palmdale. Last year's team included two past VVC standouts as well seven from Mt. SAC.

"We have a trust," Bradbury said. "If I am going to send players that far away, I want to know they will be well taken care of."

The group helped the Rams to a 17-7-3 overall record and a 9-0-1 mark in conference play.

Kansas Wesleyan competes in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. It has won two straight conference titles and three straight conference tournaments. Among the players on last year's team were former Rams standouts Nikki Ware, Marina Crittenden and Marylou Casillas.
