Baylor’s Chloe Brackett, No. 3, tries to snap the ball around GPS’s Josie Love Roebuck, No. 6, in this file photo.Josie Love Roebuck knew what the best option to continue her college career was all along. And it wasn’t going to be Tennessee orange — for her mom’s sake.
Luckily, Georgia red provided an opportunity for her.
The GPS senior committed to continue her college career at the University of Georgia. The defender aided her team to a Division II-AA state runner-up finish last season and was a first-team Best of Preps honoree, and she had an assist in the Bruisers’ season-opening 6-1 victory over Chattanooga Christian on Tuesday.
Roebuck had two brothers that have already graduated from the Athens, Ga., school, and a sister that is currently enrolled. She had attended camps the past few years there and wasted no time committing when the school offered her a scholarship.
“I really wanted to play Division I soccer,” Roebuck said Tuesday. “I liked the school a lot, I loved the coach and I had a great time when I went there for camps.”
