Casey Nogueira a Junior the daughter of ex Keeper Vitor Nogueira a portuguese/Mozambique signed with CASL Spartan 2. Women’s powers look ahead Only a handful of major women’s programs announced their 2006 signings on Feb. 1, signing day for national letters of intent, but no surprises were expected as the nation’s top prospects had long since made their decisions about their college plans. The top women’s recruits are a trio of forwards with extensive international experience in the U.S. U-19 (formerly U-18) national team program: UCLA-bound Laura Cheney (Carmel United, Ind.), Stanford’s Kelley O’Hara (Peachtree Lazers, Ga.) and Santa Clara recruit Alexa Orand (Slammers, Calif.) North Carolina is expected to announce a class that includes seven Parade All-Americans. Midfielders Whitney Engen (Slammers, N.C.), Ali Hawkins (San Diego Surf), Melissa Hayes (Sereno, Ariz.) and Tobin Heath (PDA, N.J.) and forwards Jessica McDonald (Sereno, Ariz.) and Ashley Moore (Commack ISA Emeralds, N.Y.), should be joined by junior forward Nikki Washington (Dallas Texans), who will finish her high school studies a year early. Also expected to be part of incoming Carolina class are Caroline Bonaparth (East Meadow ISA Impact, N.Y.), and Casey Nogueira (CASL Spartan). Nogueira, another junior, is the daughter of former indoor goalkeeping great Victor Nogueira. Carolina’s expected signing of the two ’07 stars marks a major development in women’s recruiting. Powerhouse programs are working at least a year ahead, fighting to tie up the top prospects long before their senior years.
