2015 Portland Steelheads Exemption Request for Jessica Blecher

This is Jess’s second year with our club. She played in the inaugural Portland Women’s game at last year’s Throwdown as well as at Sacramento. This year she was unable to travel to Regionals due to a school conflict. She played in a couple of our metro games but had no further opportunity to play. She trains with us regularly and should be allowed to play. Her ability to play here will help us build the women’s side of the club to the point where she, and other women like her, will get the opportunity to actually earn enough eligibility points to qualify.
