 MKenzie Safford will join the Western Wyoming Community College Women's Soccer team for the 2015-2016 season.  Safford is a 2015 graduate from Copper Hills High in West Jordan UT.

MKenzie brings a wealth of experience to the Mustangs.  She played club soccer with the Utah Avalanche in Salt Lake and many tournaments and matches with her club team.  The latest club level was with the Utah Avalanche 97 Black.  She was a captain of her club team five different times.

While a member of the Lady Grizzlies at CHHS MKenzie was a four year starter and a four year letter winner.  After her freshman season she was named the most inspirational player on the CHHS team.  In 2012, her sophomore year she was a 2nd Team All Region player.  Her last two years for her high school team she was a 1st Team All Region Player (2013 and 2014).

Academically she will fit in great at Western as she consistently was a member of the CHHS honor roll.  We expect the same out of her at WWCC.  MKenzie plans on studying Criminal Justice.

Safford can play either as a midfielder or a defender.  She most likely feels the most comfortable as a center mid and a center back.  However we know that she is a great soccer player and can play where ever the team needs her skills.  Congrats MKenzie and we are looking forward to enjoying your success on and off of the pitch with you.
