Allison Freels -- Defender -- Orange, Calif.

Allison is a tough, athletic, speedy defender from one of the top U19 club teams in Southern California. Previously named the OJSC Extreme, her club team finished second in the state in the under-17 age group in 2007. Her club coach is Demian Brown. In addition to her outstanding defending skills Allison is known for her attacking runs out of the back and has the ability to hit outstanding long passes, crosses, and shots. She plays her high school soccer for coach Del Montel at Lutheran High School of Orange. Allison is undecided on her major.

"Allison has all of the qualities we are looking for in our outside defenders. She is athletic, aggressive, tenacious, and most importantly she enjoys going forward with the ball. She is a great crosser of the ball. Allison also has the added benefit of having played on one of the top club teams in the nation. She has played in big games with and against some of the top players in the country and that experience will be very valuable when she takes the field next fall." -- Coach Bolton.
