University of Kentucky completes 2022 women’s soccer signing class
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky women’s soccer team will welcome a total of 13 newcomers to Lexington for the Fall 2022 season, as announced by head coach Troy Fabiano.
In addition to inking two freshmen and five transfers this spring, the Wildcats also signed six incoming first-years Maddie Eastman, Mya Gerak, Mallory Glass, Maddie Jones, Haley Hannah and Ava Hellner during the Fall 2021 signing period.
“We are excited about these additions to our program this fall, both as players and as people,” said Fabiano. “They are all skilled athletes who will fit into our culture here at Kentucky on and off the field. Along with the existing roster, these newcomers are also focused on the winning mentality. I, along with the staff and team, are ready to get to work this season.”
