Eaglecrest hires Kari Hamilton as girls soccer coach

Eaglecrest has hired Kari Hamilton as head coach of the girls soccer team, athletic director Vince Orlando announced Friday.

Hamilton was previously the head coach at Legend from 2012-15. She had previously served as an assistant at Chaparral as well as her alma mater Rangeview.

While at Rangeview, Hamilton lettered in soccer all four years and was a three-time all-league selection.

She continued her soccer career at the University of Northern Colorado before joining the professional ranks with the Fort Collins Force and the Chicago Cobras.

The Raptors went 8-7 in 2016 and did not make the Class 5A state playoffs. Orlando hopes that Hamilton’s extensive background in the sport will help Eaglecrest reach the next level of competition.
