Louisville, Ky. - Two players have signed national letters-of-intent to continue their golf careers at the University of Louisville announced head coach Kelly Meyers Rothberg. D.

"Camille's infectious vitality blended well with our Cardinal family," said Meyers Rothberg. "Her intensity on the course really impressed me along with her work ethic. She has a never give up attitude that will make her a great fit for our team. She is willing to go to work and that is the type of player that we are looking for."
Pachuta, a senior from Perry, NY, was named the New York State Junior Tour Player of the Year. She was a six year varsity letterwinner for the Perry Central High School boys team. She was named a Livingtson County Boys Golf All-Star this fall. She earned medalist honors at the Calloway Junior Series in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"Christina is a very competitive player," Meyers Rothberg said. "What I really liked about her was her consistent play. She has untouched talent and I feel that she will really explode during her career as a Cardinal. She will fit in really well with our team."
