Welcome Our New Club Administrator & Coaches to the WCU Family!
We were thrilled to welcome exciting additions to our administrative team and coaching staff over the summer, as we continue to grow and strengthen the Washington Capital United community!
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Sophie Aung, Mia Isaac, and Mario Quevedo, each bringing unique experiences, outstanding credentials, and a shared passion for developing young players both on and off the field.
Sophie Aung joins us as Club Administrator and Development Academy Assistant Coach. With a background in coaching youth across D.C. and an impressive decade-long career in arts administration and public programming, Sophie blends creativity, organization, and heart. Her experience with Soccer on the Hill, Player Progression Academy, and the Federal Triangles Soccer Club demonstrates her deep commitment to the game and to community. Sophie holds a USSF Grassroots license and is working on the USSF D license later this fall/winter.
Coach Mia Isaac comes to us fresh off an NCAA Division I career at the University of Maryland, where she also earned a degree in Kinesiology. With two years of coaching experience and a growing list of credentials, Mia brings energy, empathy, and a development-first mindset to her teams. Her emphasis on communication and creating a positive training environment will be an incredible asset to our young athletes. Coach Mia holds a USSF Grassroots license and is working on the USSF D license.
Coach Mario Quevedo adds six years of diverse coaching experience at the club, school, and academy levels including time with Crush FC, Real Madrid Camps, and PSG Academy Camps. Originally from Venezuela, Mario has coached across the U.S. and helped dozens of young players pursue their dreams of college soccer. His international perspective, leadership, and dedication to player growth are a perfect fit for WCU’s mission. Coach Mario holds a USSF Grassroots license and is working on the USSF D license.
We are incredibly excited to have these passionate and talented individuals join our team. Each new addition enriches our community and helps WCU continue to offer a dynamic, supportive, competitive, and forward-thinking soccer environment for all.

![This spring, we said “see you soon!” to 3 seniors: Iris, Sola, and Riley! ❤️ They have each played with WCU for over 8 years and were all integral parts of the success and joy of the WCU 08G Blue team.
Along with these throwback photos, Coach Alexis shared a few words about what makes each of them so special:
“Iris is a fearless goalie who we could always count on to make big stops and incredible saves. She is also a dangerous forward who can create chances, score goals, and always seemed to have a few goals in her back pocket when we needed them most.
Sola is a true box to box player, making impressive runs toward the opponent’s goal while somehow always having the fitness and determination to sprint back and make big plays on defense. Her engine seems endless, but what makes her special is that she pairs that work rate with real skill on the ball, making her the kind of player who can truly do it all.
Riley approached every game and practice with a positive attitude, one that lifts up and inspires her teammates. She is also a gritty player who works tirelessly to win every ball, battles hard in every challenge, and never backs down from doing the dirty work. On top of that, she has a knack for scoring absolute bangers, and those moments always got the whole team fired up.
We will definitely miss these three next year but know they are going to do great things at Colorado State University, UCLA, and University of Rochester!” ⭐️
