TOWSON, Md. – Towson University women's soccer team head coach Katherine Vettori has announced the program's latest National Letter of Intent (NLI) signees for the coming 2019 season.
The Tigers have ten student-athletes joining the squad as well as two transfers from Harford Community College that will join in the spring.

"We are thrilled to announce our incoming class," Vettori said. "With us graduating a large senior class this year, and with players who played key roles on each line, we have a fabulous mix of all positions coming in to make an immediate impact on the TU program. We've recruited really talented players who love Towson and believe in our vision for the program. It's an exciting time."

"We are bringing in Lindsey Pazdziorko (1776) as an excellent addition to our goalkeepers. Emily Friday (South County), Lia May (Washington Spirit DA), Jacey Miller (PA Strikers/Penn Fusion) MaHalle Long (Ohio Elite), and Kaysie Louro (PDA) will help us immediately on our back line. Haley Benson (PDA) will impact us in midfield. Up top, we will have quality with Phoebe Canoles (Premier), Maddie Carr (Premier), and Demi Pierre (Sandviken). In addition, we have two transfers from Harford CC joining us this spring. Both midfielders who are local. We can't wait for Alex Adams and Bri Stabile to start working with us second semester."

"We look forward to these student-athletes continuing to excel in the Classroom, be active in the Community, and seamlessly transition into the current Team," Vettori said. "The future is very bright for TU Soccer!"
