Four Mavs sign for women's college soccer

Liliana Savala, Samantha Escamilla, Maite Betes and Beth Ribellia are joined by their coaches who helped them throughout their soccer careers. Soccer has been a big part of their lives since a very young age.

Mav teammates came to celebrate the four seniors as they move on to play at the college level. The seniors said they will continue to cheer on their underclass teammates.

Beth Ribellia pushes the ball downfield during a game against Eastmont the past fall. She said that she hopes to still figure out what she wants to pursue academically for college, but has an interest in psychology.

Samantha Escamilla lines up the shot in a game against Eastmont in fall 2024. Escamilla said the coaching staff at Columbia Basin College’s goals to build not just a team, but a family is something she is looking forward to when playing for them.

From her sophomore year with the Mavs, Maite Betes dribbles the ball upfield. She said that playing soccer for the Mavs has been her greatest sports experience so far.

Liliana Savala signs her letter of intent to play for Green River Community College. She said she had not planned to play soccer in college but was scouted by Green River after seeing her play for the Basin Sounders soccer team.
