Atlanta Beat have announced Tracy Hamm as the newest player to join the expansion team’s roster.
Hamm is a defender from the University of California at Berkeley who was drafted by Bay Area’s FC Gold Pride in 2009. She did not play in the inaugural season of Women’s Professional Soccer but will join the Beat in 2010.
During Hamm’s 2002-2006 collegiate playing career, she amassed 12 goals, was an All-Pac-10 academic honorable mention three times, and started every game of her final two seasons. Hamm was a key factor in Cal's defense, which in 2005 set a school record for goals against average (0.475, seventh in nation) and tied school marks for both fewest goals allowed (11) and most shutouts (14) in a season.
Since graduating in 2006, Hamm played with the California Storm and currently serves as both Director of Coaching for Heritage Soccer Club in the Bay Area and Assistant Coach at her alma mater.
Atlanta Beat Head Coach Gareth O’Sullivan said this of Hamm - "Tracy has excellent strength and speed and will add depth of our back line.As a college assistant coach, she will bring a great attitude and level of maturity to camp in March."
