THE HILL | Alabama A&M University former women's soccer standout Jasmine Perez-Acosta has taken the next step in her playing career, signing a professional contract with Peninsula Power FC in Australia, the club announced.
 
Perez-Acosta capped off her collegiate career by earning Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Midfielder of the Year honors. Known for her composure on the ball, high work rate, and ability to control the tempo of matches, she emerged as one of the most influential midfielders in the conference. Her leadership and consistency in the center of the park played a vital role in Alabama A&M's success.
 
"Jasmine represents everything we strive for in our program — commitment, consistency and competitive excellence," said Alabama A&M head coach Prince Borde. "Her journey from Huntsville to the professional ranks overseas is a testament to her dedication and growth as a player. We're extremely proud of her and excited to follow her success in Australia."
 
Following her decorated time in the SWAC, Perez-Acosta signed with Peninsula Power FC, a respected club based in Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia. The club competes in the National Premier Leagues Queensland (NPL Queensland), one of the top competitive leagues in the Australian football system.

The move marks a significant milestone in Perez-Acosta's career, as she takes her talents overseas and continues her development at a high level of competition. Her transition from SWAC Midfielder of the Year to professional footballer highlights her dedication, growth, and readiness for the next chapter.

As she begins this new journey with Peninsula Power FC, Perez-Acosta represents not only herself but also the continued rise of SWAC talent on the global soccer stage.
 
Perez-Acosta is expected to join the club immediately as preparations begin for the upcoming season.
