Issy is just as fast on the ball as she is off the ball, which is a nightmare for defenders. She will provide depth to our attacking front line and a fun personality to our team."

We saw Lauren play with her club team, but it was really her performance at our ID camp that showed everyone she could be a goalkeeper at UCLA. She is a proven shot-stopper and is comfortable with her feet while building the game from the back. Lauren has continued to improve her game these last few years, which makes us even more excited to get her on campus to work with Jenny."

We saw Kennedy years ago at the Disney Showcase, and she stood out as one of the best players in that tournament. She has power, pace, and loves to have the ball at her feet. She is truly a modern-day center back who also can play on the flank. We have high expectations for Kennedy, as she does for herself."

Her experience with U.S. Youth teams shines through, as she already approaches her craft like a professional."

UCLA Head Coach Amanda Cromwell: "Hannah's skill-set was easy to translate to the college game. She is six-feet tall and is a weapon on set pieces both from heading the ball and from having a very long throw. Along with her physical stature came this ability to strike an accurate ball over great distances. When you're talking about breaking a press or finding the switch against a block defense, it is rare to have someone who can ping a ball 60 yards on a dime. We look forward to Hannah's addition and growth in our system."

UCLA Head Coach Amanda Cromwell: "Delanie is a smooth attacker who can play in the midfield or up top. She brings the ability to dribble through the middle with a gliding stride and has tremendous vision to pick out other players through seams in the defense. Her potential is just beginning to show, and she recently earned a call-up to the Under-18 National Team. Delanie hasn't received the same exposure as some of the others, but she is every bit as talented."

• Member of U.S. Under-20 National Team
• Previously played with the U.S. Under-18 and Under-19 National Teams
• Member of 2016 National Champion Santa Clarita Blue Heat
• Won USYS National Championships in 2015 and 2016 with Cal South ODP teams

UCLA Head Coach Amanda Cromwell: "Viviana comes from a soccer family, and she loves the game. She is an emerging player in the U.S. Under-20 National Team and adds new pieces to her game as she gains more exposure. Viviana is fantastic on the ball because she can use a variety of surfaces to make the game. But more than her technical ability, it is her mind and vision that separate her from her peers. She seems to be two or three steps ahead of the action, a quality that is essential for elite players."
