Biography

Parents: Josh Cypher

Birthday: July 24, 2004

 

2024: The Junior was once again instrumental in Vanguard's attack, and though she did not score a goal in 2024, she paced Vanguard with 35 shots to eclipse the century mark in her career. Cypher was able to boost her career SOG%, as she put 17 of her 35 shots on target. She was relentless in pushing the pace and setting the tone for Vanguard for every second of her 1,103 minutes. Cypher added in two assists: one to Hailey Garvin that iced a 3-1 win at Menlo while the other came on a Jena Howard goal against CUI.

2023: Scored five goals to improve on her freshman campaign, and along with four assists, ended the year with 14 points.  Cypher put up 31 shots, with 16 shots on goal, for a 51.6% accuracy rate for the campaign.  She had a season-high two goals at The Master's and had a personal-best five shots in a 2-2 draw against Bethel (Ind.), which included three shots on goal.  She played 1,087 minutes, with a peak of 77 against Southern Oregon.

2022: Cypher came off the bench in her debut on August 20 but proceeded to rack up 55 minutes of action and her first two career shots.  She picked up her first collegiate point on August 30, as she dished out an assist in a 2-0 win against Antelope Valley.  Her first goal came three games later, as she beat the Corban (Ore.) keeper in a 3-1 win, a game-winning goal at that.  She ended the campaign with four goals, one assist, nine points, 44 shots (16 on target) and 1,059 minutes played.
