Towson University women’s soccer program adds eight to roster for 2021

The Towson University women’s soccer head coach Katherine Vettori announces the addition of eight student-athletes for the Tigers 2021 campaign.

The Tigers will welcome Danielle Campbell (Ellicott City, Md.), Janelle Deveney (Marlton, N.J.), Cierra DiSabato (Manalapan, N.J.), Emily Kirkpatrick (Pittsburgh, Penn.), Ryann Leohner (Freehold, N.J.), Kendall Liermann (Safe Harbor, Fla.), Krista Louro (Jackson, N.J.) and Chiara Menegatti (Lutherville, Md.).

“I am ecstatic about this recruiting class,” said Vettori.  “The class as a whole brings an exciting and athletic attacking force, a solid defensive presence, and next-level technical and tactical components. Not only are they excellent soccer players, but are also fabulous students.”

“It has been a pleasure working with these student-athletes in the recruiting process and getting to know both them and their families.  With the addition of our eight 2021 student-athletes, the future of Towson Soccer is extremely bright.”
