ROCHESTER, Mich. -- Oakland University Women's Soccer and Head Coach Jaun Pablo Favero have announced the addition of Alli Tefend to the roster for the 2022 campaign.
 

"Allie's technical ability, work rate, and mental toughness are second to none. She gives our team another quality left-sided defender that adds depth and substance to our left flank," said Favero, "Her previous experience in the Horizon League means there will be a reduced learning curve for her and we couldn't be nore excited to welcome her back home to Michigan."
 

Tefend spent her last two season with the UIC Flames out of Chicago, Illinois as the Lake Orion native played in 17 games last season in a blue and red jersey including the game against Oakland.
 

Tefend joins a Golden Grizzlies squad who went 11-9-1 in 2021, making it all the way to the semifinals of the Horizon League #WSOC Tournament. Tefend is an experienced club athlete, competing with the Nationals Soccer Club as well as Motor City FC and Rebels FC.

 

"We are excited to be able to add an alumna from Nationals Soccer Club as we have an excellent relationship with their staff," said Favro.

 

The daughter of Kim and Michael Tefend, Allie chose Oakland for the coaches and players on the team, the atmosphere of OU, and a belief in success in a Golden Grizzlies uniform.
