Wildcats Waiting in the Wings, Part II: Eclipse Select's Aspyn Repp

Eclipse Select Soccer Club U-17 Elite Clubs National League defensive midfielder Aspyn Repp (Lake Bluff, Ill.) has always had her eyes on Northwestern’s soccer program, having watched their games growing up.

“One of my best friends’ dads used to play at Northwestern, so when I was younger I’d go to the men’s games and spend some evenings at Lakeside Field,” Repp said. “I thought it was great – the lake, the atmosphere, and the men’s program is pretty strong. I remember them going to the Elite Eight one year, so it was pretty exciting.”

Now, Repp will have a chance to strengthen the Wildcats’ women’s soccer team. Repp is one of three Eclipse Select players to commit to the Northwestern program for 2015, joining fellow club defenders Hannah Davison and Kayla Sharples.

“I’m super excited about it,” Repp said. “I love Kayla and Hannah, and to know that I will be spending the next five years between club and college playing with them, that is comforting.”
