Minnehaha Senior Signs to Play Soccer at Purdue

WEST LAFAYETTE, IN (May 8, 2002) - Minnehaha Academy senior soccer player Kelley Haag from Apple Valley, Minnesota, will be one of nine incoming freshmen added to the Purdue women's soccer team roster for the 2002 season.

Purdue finished with a 10-6-3 record last year, 4-3-3 in the Big Ten conference. Purdue head coach Rob Klatte has slated Kelley to play on the front line. "Kelley has a lot of athletic talent," says Klatte. "She is dangerous on top of the ball. Keeps a nice pace and will be a very versatile athlete and asset to this team."

Haag was a member of the 1998 Minnesota state high school championship team at Minnehaha and has been an all-conference, all-metro and all-state selection. She is also a member of the under-18 St. Paul Blackhawks Olympic Development Program (ODP) team and has played on the Minnesota state ODP team. She is the daughter of Glenn and Dianne Haag.

Minnehaha Academy is a school sponsored by the Northwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church. For more information about the school, call 612-729-8321.
