Aurora\u2019s developmental soccer program has long been considered a factory for collegiate talent, and this year\u2019s crop is no different.
\nAurora FC\u2019s class of 2018 has produced commitments to both Canadian and American universities for six members of the women\u2019s program, ready to hit the pitch with their new squads come the fall semester.
\nAndrea Meneses, a midfielder and two-time Ontario Youth Soccer League champion, will represent the Queen\u2019s Golden Gaels in Canadian U-Sports.
\n\u201cI selected Queen\u2019s University because of the reputation of the Commerce program, the small community campus environment, and the amazing soccer program,\u201d said the Richmond Hill native. \u201cI believe throughout my four years at Queens, I\u2019ll better myself as an athlete and develop skills to prepare me for my future career.\u201d
\nQuinn Josiah, who spent time with Aurora\u2019s senior program late in the 2017 season, will join the Prairie View A&M University Panthers as the team\u2019s newest goalkeeper. She enters a program competing in the NCAA\u2019s top division, as members of the highly-competitive Southwestern Athletic Conference.
\nJoining Josiah in the NCAA Division I is Emma Milne, committed to Liberty University to represent the Lady Flames.
\nThe Uxbridge native, another member of Aurora\u2019s back-to-back Ontario champion squad, brings her skills at midfield to the Virginia-based Atlantic Sun Conference school.
\n\u201cEmma is an energetic midfielder who can run all day long,\u201d said her coach, Land Wedemeyer. \u201cHer work ethic and skill make her a great complement to the players around her.\u201d
\nThe three new recruits doubles the commitment signings for the Aurora program this season, joining Michaela Iacono (Eastern Kentucky University), Laura Marelli (Guelph University), and Jessica Marino (McMaster University) who committed earlier this year.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
