Fresh legs for HPU soccer team

Four true freshmen and two redshirt freshmen have signed letters of intent to play for the Hawaii Pacific University women's soccer team.

Coaches Mark and Alexis Kane said they were happy with the additions to their team, which went 0-6-1 in last year's inaugural season.

"Hollie Kedro was an especially pleasant surprise, because we needed another striker and she's an NCAA Division I talent," said Mark Kane. "Also, being able to attract the quality local players is a big plus."

Kedro, a 1995 graduate of Kamehameha Schools, was a first-team ILH all-star and the state tournament MVP that year.

Also committing were midfielder Virginia Ammon, a first-team all-stater from South Eugene, Ore.; Kristi Gadawski, an all-league goalkeeper from Sweet Home, N.Y.; defender Malu Afong of Kailua, OIA East player of the year this year; Chavela Garza, a Kauai midfielder who was all-conference, and Mililani's Teresa Bennett, first-team OIA West goalkeeper last year.
