"Dominique
is a tenacious hard working
player who comes to play all
the time. She is a very good
one-on-one defender as well.
I expect her to compete for
one of the starting
defensive midfield
positions," said James.
Ward said she chose YSU
because she felt that it was
the best fit for her.
"I
love the coaches, the team
and the school," added Ward.
Kline is a 5-foot-9 four-year
varsity goalkeeper from
Western High School. She was
selected to the All-Broward
Conference team and was
named team MVP and captain.
In her freshman year, Kline
played a pivotal role in her
team being named the 2005
5A/6A District Champions and
Regional Finalist. Kline is
a current member of the
Sunrise Flames FC U-17
soccer team.
"Nicole is extremely
athletic," James said. "This
allows her to catch balls
that many other goalkeepers
would miss."
James also sees a great deal
of potential in Kline.
"Even though Nicole is still
growing and developing as a
player, she has the ability
to step in and start right
away for us in the fall," he
added.
Kline said the
coaches were one of
the main reasons she
signed with YSU
"I choose YSU
because Coach James
and Coach Greg
showed me that their
program would be the
best fit for me. YSU
offered everything I
was looking for in a
school both
athletically and
academically,"
explained Kline.
"After meeting and
talking with both
coaches, I believed
that I would enjoy
playing for coaches
that had such a
passion for the game
and really believed
in my potential.”
