LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville women's soccer head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes has announced the Cardinals' 2011 recruiting class, which includes nine newcomers for the upcoming season.

Included in the talented class of 2011 are players from both the United States and Canada who have played at the highest level. Many have state, regional and national team experience. They have played in youth World Cups and competed in and won national championships.

"We are thrilled to be adding nine wonderful young women to our Cardinal Soccer Family," said Ferguson-Dayes. "Every one of them brings very unique and dynamic qualities that will only add to the great nucleus that we have returning. We expect many of these young players to compete for playing time immediately and be able to step right in and help make a difference their first year. I am excited to have the opportunity to coach each and every one of them and I look forward to their arrival on campus this August."
