Iowa Soccer Signs 6 – University of Iowa Athletics

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa women’s soccer team signed six student-athletes from the Class of 2028 on Wednesday.

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH DAVE DIIANNI
“Every year at this time is filled with the excitement and promise of a new group of student-athletes who have long since looked forward to officially becoming a Hawkeye. Like the classes before them in history, they are exceptional individuals, driven students and soccer players that have all been successful in their careers. We feel that each of these individuals has the opportunity to impact our program immediately. However, the next eight months will be a great indication of how quickly that can occur with the work put in before they come to campus. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Iowa Soccer program, and we officially welcome six new women and their families to Iowa City.”­
