Sun Devil Soccer Harvesting Homegrown Talent

Sun Devils women's soccer coaches were once a rarity at Arizona high school games. Kevin Boyd decided to change that when he arrived in Tempe nine seasons ago to take over the program from Ray Leone, who left to coach at Harvard.

"At a state school like this, your community around you really makes your program," said Boyd, whose team takes on Northern Arizona in an exhibition game Friday in Prescott Valley. "It creates an affinity, not only for the program but for the university as a whole. It generates future recruits that come our way because we have a good reputation and that's a product of us getting out there and working.
