Seckman's Jolliff to Play for STLCC's Soccer Team

Seckman High School’s Donna Jolliff will attend St. Louis Community College and play soccer for the college in 2012.

STLCC’s woman’s soccer coach Juergen Huettner, in a news release, said he believes Jolliff will play a more aggressive role for the college team.

During her junior year in spring 2011, Jolliff contributed three goals and five assists. While that production came mostly as a midfielder for Seckman, Huettner projects Jolliff as a forward at the collegiate level.

"When I watched her, we looked at her as a forward," Huettner said. "I know in high school she plays more as a midfielder, but she’s really strong with the ball. She has a nice, physical presence as a player and she can put the ball in the net."

The STLCC Archers will look for new sources of offense in 2012, as the team’s graduating sophomores contributed 25 of the team’s 55 goals this season. Huettner, however, is confident his team’s newest addition can help bridge that gap.

"We lost some good scorers this year, but Donna is definitely a player that can help us," Huettner said.
