Baylor head soccer coach Marci Miller Jobson announced the signing of nine student-athletes to National Letters of Intent Wednesday. The class, made up entirely of high school athletes, includes eight players from the state of Texas.
"We are very excited about the incoming class for 2008," Miller Jobson said. "This class is coming in at a great time as we look to move this program forward. I feel that each of these young ladies is going to help us as we continue to rebuild."
The nine signees will look to fill the void left by seven graduating seniors off the 2007 team that finished with a 7-10-2 record overall.
The signing class includes the following players: Alyssa Anderson (MF/F, Allen HS, Allen, Texas), Jonie Canfield (MF, Smithson Valley HS, Bulverde, Texas), Christine Clark (F/MF, Chatfield Senior HS, Littleton, Colo.), Hannah Dismuke (MF/F, Cinco Ranch HS, Katy, Texas), Brittany Hunemuller (MF, Round Rock HS, Round Rock, Texas), Bethany Johnston (F/MF/D, McKinney HS, McKinney, Texas), Jessica Loyd (MF, Lake Highlands HS, Dallas, Texas), Staz Salinas (MF, James Bowie HS, Austin, Texas) and Wallis Young (D/MF/F, Duncanville HS, Duncanville, Texas).
