Introducing Sianna Siemonsma
May 24, 2017 | Women's Soccer
One of three members from the 2017 signing class hailing from California, Sianna Siemonsma will be joining the Huskies this coming season from Newport Beach, Calif. Playing her club soccer with Slammers FC, she helped lead the team to a top-four finish at the ECNL U17 Nationals last summer. As a member of the Newport Harbor High School team she was named the Daily Pilot High School Female Athlete of the Week this past season, and has been an active member in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Club throughout her time in school. Before joining the Huskies this summer we asked her a few questions in order to get to know her a little better.
