Helena, Mont. - Carroll College soccer coach David Thorvilson has announced the signing of Kailey Edgar and Christa Saur to NAIA/Frontier Conference National Letters of Intent to play at Carroll College in 2010-11.

 Kailey Edgar from Star, Idaho, has been playing for the Les Bois Soccer Association from the age of 9. She brings a much decorated soccer resume to the Saints team; her club team has won the state championship in 2001-2005 and 2007 to the present. Her team also won the US Club Super Group Regional in 2008 and 2009 and finished second at the US Club National Championship in 2008 and third in 2009.  Edgar was also a member of the Idaho State ODP team in 2005 and 2006 and is currently an All-Academic team member and a varsity letterman as a starting central mid for her high school, Eagle High. Edgar is a member of the National Honor Society and has a 4.11 weighted GPA; she plans to major in Biology/Pre-Med at Carroll College.

"I am very pleased that Kailey has chosen Carroll College for her academic and athletic needs.  Her club team is arguably one of the best in the region and her steady play in the midfield should allow for an easy transition into the college game," said Coach Thorvilson.

Christa Saur will be coming to Carroll from Boise, Idaho, where she attends Bishop Kelly High School.  She played her club ball for the Nationals Soccer Club before joining the Boise Capitals Soccer Club in 2009.  Christa was a team captain for Bishop Kelly High School during her senior year, where her team was District Champs in 2007 and 2009, State Champs in 2007 and 2008, and Academic State Champs in 2008 and 2009.  Sour was awarded All-Conference 1st team this last fall and won the Coaches Award in 2008, averaging 23 goals per season. Christa has maintained a 3.35 GPA and plans to major in Biology/Pre-Med at Carroll College.

"Christa came to our camp last summer and got the chance to play with many of our current team members. She is a very athletic and versatile player with good speed and could fill many different spots on the field for us," stated Coach Thorvilson, "I am eager to see her develop in our system of play."

These last two ladies will wrap up the 2010 recruiting class, though the women's soccer team might still look to sign a goalkeeper into the 2010 class. The Saints will check in for preseason practice on August 10th and will open regular season play at home on August 25th.
