Another Soccer Signing: Yoder a Knight

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Yoder signs letter of intent

INDIANAPOLIS — Bruin soccer standout Sharisse Yoder has signed a letter of intent to continue her academic and soccer careers at Marian University, Bleeding Bruin Blue has learned. Yoder's 41 goals and 35 assists in four years of Bethany soccer combine for 117 career points, good for fourth in school history; she trails only 2003 graduate Destiny Peshina (42) and 2002 alumna Sarah Thompson (41) in assists.

Coming off a senior season where she was named MVP of November's PostYourT.com all-star game, Yoder will join a Knights team looking to improve upon a 12-6 record in 2010, with a 5-3 Mid-Central Conference mark that was good for third in league play. Marian is coached by Kurt Guldner, who will begin his 14th season on Saturday, August 20 against Madonna University in Indianapolis. The Knights' closest approaches to Elkhart County this season will be a trio of games at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne: the USF tournament on Friday and Saturday, September 16-17, and a road game against the hosting Cougars on Wednesday, Oct. 19.
