Alexandra Vidger Bio

COACH SANCHEZ ON VIDGER: GÇ£Alex has been primarily a center-back for most of her life, but over the last couple years with her club team, Colorado Real, she has been playing a defensive center midfielder. She has great size, great athleticism and is very good in the air. Playing in the midfield for Real, it has really helped with her speed of play, technique and playing out of pressure. We look at her as a player that is versatile enough in the Pac-12 to play at center-back or as a holding center midfielder. WeGÇÖre excited to get Alex in and see her compete.GÇ¥
