McKinley "Macky" Dennis has been a four-year varsity player for Marist High School in Oregon where she was the team leader in assists and second in goals (18) her senior year. She was a Sky Em All-District player her sophomore and junior years and garnished first team Sky Em honors this last fall.

Marist High School took second place at state in 2006 and 2007 and was the Sky Em League Champion from 2006-2008.

Dennis also played club ball for the Eugene Metro Futbol Club from 2004-2006, with the FC Willamette team since 2007, and is a member of the Oregon Girls' 92's ODP team. In addition to soccer, Dennis played varsity basketball for Marist High School since her freshman year. She was an honor roll student all four years of high school, maintaining at least a 3.5 GPA, and plans to study nursing at Carroll College.

"We are excited to have Macky join the Saints

soccer family next year. She came on a campus visit this last fall and trained with the team and she just has a knack for finding the back of the net. With the loss of Hannah Young in our forward group we are hoping players like McKinley can help fill her void," said Saints soccer head coach Dave Thorvilson.

Paige Williams, a four-sport varsity standout at Green Mountain High School has lettered in track, cross country, skiing and soccer. During her junior year, Williams scored six goals in 10 games before breaking her leg. She has been playing club soccer for the Colorado Rush Swoosh team since 2003. The Rush have made the Colorado State Cup every year since 2005. She was also an All-State Skimeister (Nordic and Alpine combined) her sophomore and junior years.

Academically, Williams has been a member of the Gold Honor Roll, the National Honor Society, and was named the "Top of the Mountain Freshman" (top overall academic award). She maintained a 4.12 GPA and plans to pursue a degree in biology while at Carroll College.

"I am very pleased to bring in an athlete of Paige's caliber to Carroll College," Thorvilson said. "She could play many different roles for our team but could be well-suited to an outside back position as well. She is very similar to Abby Hoover and can run out of the back."

The Saints will be returning 20 players from last year's squad, which posted a 15-5-1 record and won their third straight Frontier Conference championship. They will look to wrap up recruiting for the 2010 class in the next few weeks.
