The Ohio State women's soccer team has added six student-athletes to its 2015 recruiting class, head coach Lori Walker announced Friday.

“With the expectations set for next season along with the return of four starters who missed most of last season, the addition of this 2015 class gives us great hope for the future,” Walker said. “As one of the most-complete classes in program history, they will undoubtedly help us build upon our 2010 College Cup appearance as we look to build towards a national championship run.”

Two of the recruits hail from California (Brianna Gazmarian and Sarah Roberts) and the Buckeyes added one player each from Ohio (Taylor Momburg), Nevada (Arden Holden), Ontario, Canada (Devon Kerr) and Michigan (Kylie Knight).

“With players that had the opportunity to choose from just about every program in the country, we’re proud that they made a decision to join our Buckeye family here at The Ohio State University,” Walker added. “As a program built upon and committed to excellence, the young ladies of this 2015 class will do nothing but enhance that tradition as they are among the best of the best. With that said, we look forward to introducing them into our returning squad as competition is going to be at an all-time high come August. We congratulate each and every member of this class as we look forward to four tremendous years together as they take the next step in their journey as student-athletes and as young ladies.”
