Position: Midfield / Forward

Club Team: SLSG IL ECNL

Club Coach: Laura Heffington

From Coach Burton: Sidney has great qualities on and off the ball. Very industrious player with a tremendous competitive spirit that wants to win and isn't afraid to work for what she wants. Effective quickness to break down defenders and get out of trouble, vision to unlock a defense with a key pass and very high IQ for the game. We are absolutely delighted to have Sidney joining us this coming season!

From Laura Heffington: Sid is the player every coach loves to work with. Willing to do the work in a group setting or on her own. Absolute team first kind of player. On top of that, she's a great teammate- positive, encouraging, and willing to do whatever she can to better the team. I am excited to see Sidney join SIUE as I think the amount of care and work she puts in to all she does, will be a tremendous asset to the program. Laura Heffington, SLSG IL ECNL

Why I chose SIUE: I chose SIUE because the team has a family feel and that's something I knew I wanted, coming from a big family. I love the competitive yet fun culture the team has. The coaches and girls are so amazing…and I can't wait to be a Cougar.
