SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Alumna Anna Gregg ’14 will represent Colorado College and the United States at the 2015 World University Games in Gwangju, Korea, from July 3-14.

The 20 players competing as Team USA in Gwangju, Korea, are a collection of current, former and future Tigers, including 10 who helped CC advance to the 2013 NCAA Tournament after claiming the Conference USA regular-season and tournament championships. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens who are current athletes or recent graduates, born between Jan. 1, 1990, and Dec. 31, 1997.

Senior Anna Gregg was named the Player of the Year in the Delta League, earning league player of the year for second straight season. She helped St. Francis to a third-place finish and runner-up section finish. She was also named the River Cats Girls Soccer Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Gregg led the Delta League with 32 goals (T54 in nation) in 2015 with a league-best 72 points (T65 in nation). She also recorded eight assists, the second-best total in the league.

Gregg is one of five first-year players on the roster for Head Coach Geoff Bennett.

“We’re going to have a handful of players from different eras of the program, which I believe is great,” Bennett said. “The young players are here for a reason, and I think they can help us. The older players can help us on the field, but off the field their expertise and maturity level will help us gel and make us pretty cohesive.”

In addition to its daily training and fitness sessions, CC will play three ‘friendlies’ against Pride Club teams, including one against the W-League squad on Thursday, June 25.
 
Colorado College departs for Korea on Sunday, June 28, and plays its first Pool D game against South Africa at Honam University Stadium on Thursday, July 2.
