MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis women's soccer added to its 2020 roster, as head coach Brooks Monaghan announced the addition of Rebecca Calderoni, Megan Scholten and Lindsey Smith.
The trio's verification to join the Tigers' program this fall occurred prior to the NCAA suspending recruiting activities this spring as a result of the pandemic.
"In this day and age, finding quality players for the fall this late in the process is very rare," Monaghan said. "For us to find these three young ladies I feel is a huge bonus for us. They bring different skill sets as all three play different positions, and we feel they can strengthen our team."
