The rich, preppy Connecticut mom of 17-year-old Eliza Kruger — who said she “hooked up” with star Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez after meeting him at a Manhattan nightclub — “likes to party” on occasion with her sexy daughter, sources said yes terday.
“Eliza has been going to clubs since she was 15, sometimes with her mom,” blond Greenwich divorcée Marie McCormick Kruger, a night life source told The Post.
“A lot of the club guys in the city know her mom well,” the source said.
… The nightlife source also told The Post that Eliza “recently has been hanging out with a promoter who works with a lot of the clubs, and who introduced her to Mark.”
“But even he thought she was 18,” the source said. “She looks a lot older when she’s all dressed up for a night out.”
A second club-land source said that when “Eliza met Mark on New Year’s Eve, he was actually out with a girlfriend at the time. But he managed to get her number anyway.”
Several sources said that weeks ago, Eliza was turned away from the door of Juliet Supper Club in Chelsea.
Sanchez and several Jets were partying at Juliet on Jan. 24, hours after losing the AFC Championship in Pittsburgh, but it was not clear if that was the night of Eliza’s aborted visit.
Deadspin quotes Eliza as saying that Mark Sanchez is a very nice, very genuine person. He seemed very humble and down to earth.
She was skeptical of Mark’s intentions. She couldn’t figure out why this popular good-looking quarterback was interested in a high school girl.

But her close friends have been doggedly protecting a secret in the unnerving days since the 19-year-old woman accused Los Angeles Lakers All-Star Kobe Bryant of forcing her to have sex with him…
