Congratulations to Avery Alves on committing to play college soccer at Pacific Union College as a student athlete!
“I am so excited to announce my commitment to Pacific Union College! I want to first thank my family for always supporting me and watching me play no matter the weather. I would also like to thank Coach Troy, Coach Becky, and Coach Maha for pushing me to reach for the next level and assisting me on this journey. West Coast has given me so many opportunities that I would never have gotten to experience otherwise! A huge thank you to my teammates as well for constantly challenging me and welcoming me into the team from day one! Last but not least I would like to thank Coach Granados for taking me into his amazing program and giving me the opportunity to play collegiate soccer! I am so excited for where the PUC Women’s Soccer program will take me!” - Avery Alves
“Avery Alves is an exceptional goalkeeper and a cornerstone of our team’s success. A strong, well-balanced athlete, Avery commands the box with confidence, showcasing elite-level hands and sharp reflexes that consistently shut down top-tier competition. Her distribution is outstanding—whether it’s with her feet or launching a quick counter with a pinpoint throw, she sparks our attack just as effectively as she anchors our defense.
Avery’s talent has earned her widespread recognition, including multiple All-Star selections and the prestigious honor of being chosen to represent the Girls Academy as the top goalkeeper in the Northwest Division. Her accolades speak for themselves, but it’s her leadership, consistency, and relentless drive that truly set her apart. Avery is a game-changer and a role model, both on and off the pitch.” -Coach Troy Dayak
“We are so proud of you, Avery. All your hard work and sacrifices have paid off. We are excited for your next chapter of life at PUC; they are so lucky to have you! We would like to thank Coach Troy and Coach Maha, as well as everyone at West Coast Soccer. Coach Troy, you are such a humble man and a great influence and mentor to these girls. Coach Maha: Avery's favorite day is Monday because she gets to drive all the way to Livermore to train with you. Most days, Avery came home with a smile and a great story to tell! We would also like to thank the whole Kryptonite team. Thank you for welcoming Avery to the team since day one. You girls are such a pleasure to watch and root for, on and off the field. We wish each of you continued success in your future.” - Joe and Jina Alves
