Eclipse Select's Katy Karabetsos joining San Jose State in 2014

Eclipse Select's Katy Karabetsos

CHICAGO (Aug. 6, 2013) -- Eclipse Select Soccer Club midfielder Katy Karabetsos admits she had some good fortune on her side when committing to a collegiate program, and sure enough that pathway started in Las Vegas.

Karabetsos' performance at the Las Vegas Players Showcase in March paid big dividends as the Buffalo Grove, Ill., native and member of Eclipse Select's U-17 Elite Clubs National League team caught the eyes of San Jose State's women's soccer program.

After they contacted Eclipse Select President Rory Dames to get the ball rolling, the Spartans are now looking forward to having Karabetsos on the pitch starting in the fall of 2014.

"It was just luck, I guess," Karabetsos said. "We were at the showcase in Vegas and their coach happened to be walking by and saw me stand out during a game. He contacted Rory and showed interest."
