Stephanie will join the Thunderbirds after an outstanding career with Lehi High School and FC Leonas soccer club. 

Roper had a phenomenal prep career totaling 49 total goals and 15 assists for the Pioneers. She led all of 5A scoring 17 goals in her last two seasons, and received All-State honors in 2021 and 2022, as well as First-Team All-Region honors from 2020-2022. Roper was also a 2022 DPL finalist and has been a team captain for Lehi and Utah Arsenal FC. 

Coach Edwards on Stephanie

"Stephanie is an aggressive, dangerous attacking player with speed to spare. Her quickness and talent on the ball give defenders fits and her willingness to go at them off the dribble will add another dimension to our program's attack. We are excited to add Stephanie to the Thunderbird front line and look forward to seeing her create and bury goals in the Southern Utah jersey next fall."
