The freshman forward, originally from Tijuana, Mexico, has played for Club Tijuana and the Mexican National U-15 and U-17 teams. Quiroz scored four goals and recorded five assists in her debut season with the Arizona Western Matadors.
“Excited for Fernanda to get this opportunity to be part of her national team; it’s a privilege and honor to have the opportunity to go forth and represent your country,” said Matadors Head Women’s Soccer Coach Victor Verdugo. “As a program we hope to continue on this path that we are able to mentor and have student athletes who have the opportunity to be part of our institution and be prepared to take on these great opportunities.”
“It was the vision for the program to be able to bring in the best student athletes from across the world,” Coach Verdugo continued, “and Fernanda being called to her national team only gives the program a further drive to continue to work with our student athletes to be prepared for these opportunities. We are very proud of Fernanda being part of our program and stepping forward representing Arizona Western College with her national team.”
