Interviews with Carolina Ascent FC Players

The Carolina Ascent Football Club is about to make history in Charlotte! Women's professional soccer is coming to the QC for the first time in history this Saturday! Who's ready? Cameron got a chance to chat with a few Carolina Ascent FC players ahead of their opening match. Check the videos below!

In addition to having one of the coolest names of all time, Cannon Clough is one of our own. She’s a Charlotte girl who played collegiately for the Charlotte 49ers and the North Carolina Tar Heels. On that subject, she talked about playing for UNC coaching legend Anson Dorrance (who announced his retirement this week). We then segued to her professional career in Australia and how cool it is to get to do the things back home.

Jaydah Bedoya is fascinating. She’s a native of Massachusetts who, because of her grandfather’s heritage, has had the opportunity to play internationally for his native Ecuador. Her college career was spent starring for the University of Connecticut and West Virginia. And now, she’s pumped to be a part of the Carolina Ascent FC.

Like her teammate Jaydah, Jill Aguilera has had a really interesting early part of her career. She’s from the Bay area of California and played her college soccer at the University of Arizona. However, she is a member of the Puerto Rican national team. She’s also played professionally here in the States for the Chicago Stars of the NWSL. Her observations on culture shock between northern California, Puerto Rico, and the Carolinas still make me laugh just thinking about it.
