FMSpro is excited to announce the commitment of Savanna Backus to NCAA Division I Utah Valley University. Savanna is an extremely shifty, technical, and intelligent midfielder who currently plays for Pickering in the OPDL. She excels in connecting play and delivering the final product in the attacking third. Savanna is highly competitive and isn’t afraid to put in a tackle. Her work ethic is exceptional, and she knows when to track back and win the ball.

In addition to being a great playmaker, Savanna is also a goal scorer who excels at breaking lines, making her the heart of the attack. Utah Valley has been a very successful program in recent years, and head coach Chris Lemay is thrilled about the addition of Savanna to the team. He values creative, hardworking players, and Savanna fits that mold perfectly.

Utah Valley is also in the process of finalizing a brand-new, $40 million stadium, which will be ready when Savanna begins her career. The program also boasts one of the highest average home-game attendances in college soccer.

Off the field, Savanna is an academic standout, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Big congratulations to Savanna, and we wish her all the best as she begins this exciting collegiate journey!
