Team Chicago Academy-Brasilia co-captain Maggie Roe has accepted a great scholarship offer to continue her soccer career at the University of Illinois. Maggie, who plays her prep soccer for Head Coach Julie Bergstrom at Waubonsie Valley H.S., will be part of the UofI 2017 recruiting class.

The University of Illinois is coached by coaching legend Janet Rayfield, and a perennial BigTen powerhouse. Maggie is the third Team Chicago player in recent years to commit to Illinois joining current Fighting Illini standouts Hope D’Addario (2013) and Olivia Schmitt (2014).
