ABOUT OWEN
YEAR OF BIRTH: 2000
I was born and raised in New Hampshire, a small state in the Northeast of the United States. My dad was and still is a local high school and club coach so I was constantly surrounded by the game and by older players. I always played multiple sports throughout my life, however, soccer was always the main focus. After years of playing club and high school soccer I finally reached my goal of playing college soccer. In the fall of 2018 I started my career at Ithaca College in New York. The five years I spent at Ithaca were not always easy. I had to deal with serious injuries and a global pandemic. My time at Ithaca was a roller coaster of emotions but in the end it has helped me become a better, stronger, and more mentally tough player.
PROFILE
I grew up in a soccer-loving family and have played my whole life. Most recently I was a player at Ithaca College in New York. I have come a long way since I first began at Ithaca and I am excited for my future as a player.
