The Wyoming Cowgirl soccer program unveiled their latest recruiting class with the addition of six student-athletes for the 2016 season.

Head coach Pete Cuadrado announced the new class Wednesday.

Carlee Martin, Brooklyn Mooney, Avery Smith, Michaela Stark and Rachael Troxel are the incoming freshmen for the fall season. They will be accompanied by Brittney Stark, a transfer from the University of Colorado, who will join forces with her younger sister Michaela in the upcoming year.

Cuadrado said, “We are excited for the six new additions to the Wyoming Soccer family. Each of these student-athletes bring something unique that will only enhance our goal of winning a conference championship.”

UW finished last year with a 10-6-4 overall record to give the program its first back-to-back seasons of 10-plus wins.
