CHARLOTTESVILLE – The Virginia women’s soccer program announced this week that eight players have signed letters of intent to join the Cavalier program this fall. Alli Fries (Dublin, Ohio), Nikki Krzysik (Clifton, N.J.), Celeste Miles (Garland, Texas), Kelly Quinn (Dublin, Ohio), Jessica Rostedt (Kent, Ohio), Sarah Senty (Arlington, Va.), Alex Singer (Rye, N.Y.) and Amanda Stewart (West Chester, Pa.) will form the first-year class for the 2005 Virginia women’s soccer team.
The class is highlighted by four players with experience on United States Youth National Teams, all of which have earned All-American honors.
“We could not be more excited about this years recruiting class,” says head coach Steve Swanson. “We needed to replace a large and talented senior class who helped lift our program to new heights during the last four years. We feel this class will be equally special both on and off the field, especially when they begin to work with what we feel is an excellent group of returning players. Each of these incoming recruits has the potential to impact our program right away on the field, but it is their qualities as people that make them standout. They all have great attitudes, want to learn, possess a tremendous work ethic, and most importantly are team players. I have no doubt that they will make their mark on Virginia Soccer, the University of Virginia and the Charlottesville community in the next four years.”
These eight players will join 17 players from the 2004 squad with eligibility remaining. In 2004, the Cavaliers went 17-3-2 and won the program’s first ACC Championship.
