STANTON - Ariel Ramos has been playing soccer since she was three years old and next year she will be living out her dream to play at the next level.
This week, Ramos signed a letter of intent to play soccer for Schreiner University in Georgetown as a forward or utility player.
Schreiner is a member of the NCAA DIII Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Ramos is a senior at Stanton High School and has competed in club soccer, basketball, football, cross country, softball, and track.
“I am very excited to continue my soccer career at the next level,” Ramos said. “I have worked very hard in soccer games and college showcases. Schreiner University reminded me of Midland and Stanton a little bit, because it was a small community and it felt like home right away.” “Schreiner University is like a family, especially the team,” added Ramos. “I was able to meet some girls from the team and they were very welcoming, outgoing and friendly.”
“We are very excited to have Ariel join our program,” said Schreiner University soccer coach Alyssa Taramona. “Ariel came on campus knowing exactly what she wanted. She had her campus visit with her family and immediately after offering her a position on the team, she said “what if I already know my decision?” and continued to commit to Schreiner. That was a great experience all around and I know there will be more in Fall 2020.”
“Her presence on the field, technical ability, and pure athleticism will help us make our program better,” added Taramona. “We believe that Ariel will bring a competitive presence that will push her teammates and herself in order to better the program.
Ramos is the daughter of Tony and Diana Ramos.
