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.
