Valparaiso University's women's soccer coach Stephen Anthony has added a fourth player, Casey Mills, to his 2003 recruiting class.

Mills, a native of Oakville, Ont. signed a National Letter of Intent to play with the Crusaders beginning this fall.

?I chose Valparaiso University because of the high level of academics, the great atmosphere on campus, and because I liked the team and coach," Mills said of her decision.

A 5'5" midfielder, Mills plays for the Burlington Flames club team that was the 2002 National champions in the U18 division. Her team has also been Ontario Cup champions twice.

In addition, Mills is the captain of the Oakville Trafalgar High School soccer team, where she also plays basketball and volleyball.

?Casey will be a strong addition to our program this fall," Anthony said. ?She will fill a terrific need for the team by providing speed, athleticism, creativity, and the ability to take player on in the attacking third."

Mills joins Lauren Cooper, Liberty Ziegahn, and Alison Zobel as members of the 2003 class.
