Raymond signs with Northwest University

Tatiana Raymond has made some huge shots for the Columbia Falls girls soccer team. When she was a junior she hit the game-winning shot against Billings Central in overtime to put the Wildcats into the state championship in 2025.

Then she hit the first goal in that championship. Then this year she hit the game-winning shot again in the semifinals against the Rams to put the Wildcats into the championship for a second year in a row.

Now Raymond will look for similar moments in college, as she signed recently with Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington. This season she had five goals and 13 assists for the Cats, the third most assists in Class A this year.

She plans on studying business and finance at Northwest and will likely be a midfielder for the Eagles.

“I’m really excited,” she said at her signing.

Raymond is the daughter of Jeremy and Aleyna Raymond. Tatiana joins teammate Riley Byrd, who also signed with Northwest recently.
