The University of Nevada women's soccer team signed three student-athletes on Wednesday and added three walk-ons as well.

Natalie Rantavira (Fallbrook, Calif.), Annabelle Allen (Littleton, Colo.) and Ellie Scott (East Gosford, New South Wales, Australia) all signed to play for the Wolf Pack, beginning in the fall of 2008. In addition, Katie Catricala (Sacramento, Calif.), Sarah Voss (Sparks) and JoAnne Terranova (Reno) will join the team as walk-ons.

"All the credit for this year's class has to go to the wonderful job the previous coaching staff did in identifying the great talent we are signing today," Nevada coach Jamie Frias said. "We have a special group of young women joining our Wolf Pack family each with unique talents and personalities. I can't wait to see them in a Nevada uniform next fall."
