Congratulations to our coach in Southern Utah, Juli Nield, who has been inducted into the Utah Tech Hall of Fame.
Juli won the national championship with her Dixie State team in 2003, and the whole team was inducted.
She said: “We had both coaches and 20 out of 21 players show up this weekend. The Hall of Fame organizers were surprised by the numbers I gave them for the luncheon … but I wasn’t.
“Because that’s what this team has always done, they have always shown up for each other on and off the soccer field.
“That season together was magical and it may have been just as magical 22 years later being together with all of these strong, amazing women.
“We laughed until it hurt, picked up right where we left off, and relived so many memories.
“And this is WHY I want my kids do sports and be a part of a team… the RELATIONSHIPS. That’s was it is all about. So grateful to have all of these beautiful relationships with these women.”
Well done, Juli, we are all so proud of you and your family!
