Angela Gutierrez

Angela Gutierrez enters her second season with Aurora FC.

Gutierrez, regarded as one of the Missouri Valley Conference’s most prolific attacking midfielders, returns to Eagan following her debut season with the club in 2025. She appeared in 7 matches, starting four, contributing an assist for an Aurora side that claimed its fourth consecutive division title.

Collegiately, Gutierrez has spent the past three seasons at NCAA Division I Drake University. The Minnesota native has recorded 56 total appearances for the Bulldogs, logging nearly 3,400 total minutes.

As a freshman in 2023, Gutierrez tied the program’s single-season freshman assist record with five assists, chipping in six goals. She earned MVC Freshman of the Week honors five times that season and later won the 2023 MVC Freshman of the Year award, becoming just the third player in Drake history to do so.

2024 served as a productive follow-up season for Gutierrez, which culminated in all-conference third team honors. She started 18 of her 20 appearances that season, posting four goals with one assist and playing a career best 1,285 minutes.

Gutierrez was again an important piece for the Bulldogs in the 2025 college campaign, starting 14 of her 19 appearances, chipping in 9 total points. Her 5 assists tied a single season career best.

At the club level, Gutierrez played for Salvo SC and MN Eclipse.
