BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University Women's Soccer head coach Amy Berbary announced the Hoosiers 2014 signing class on Wednesday. There were a total of nine players signing NLI's to play for the Hoosiers, including two from Indiana, one from Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida in addition to one each from Canada and Guatemala.
"Hoosier fans should be very excited about the new talent coming to Bloomington," Berbary said. "This class has instant impact potential and gives us a large amount of depth after losing six starters due to graduation. We are thrilled to see these nine athletic and versatile players join our returning group and help build on the success of the 2013 campaign."
