Tressa Becker’s journey to college soccer began at six years old when she started playing with the Hays Soccer Club. All the years of work came to pay off on Thursday when she signed a national letter of intent to play for Barton County Community College. Becker stepped into a leadership role both on and off the field during her junior season to go along with her soccer skills during practice and games. The package of skill and leadership is one of the reasons that former coach Jim Maska believes that Barton wanted Becker to be a part of their program.

Becker also found a comfort level with the head coach for the Cougars, which led to an easier decision when picking a school. Becker still has one more season though to complete for the Indians, one she knows will have a little less stress attached to it since her college decision has been made.
