BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The WKU women’s soccer team has added Sophia Fondren, a
transfer from Stephen F. Austin, to the 2020 roster as announced by head coach Jason
Neidell on Friday.
“We are extremely excited to bring a person, player and student like Sophie into our
program,” said assistant coach Roman DuChateau. “She brings in a wealth of
experience and a proven track record of producing at the Division-I level. We think
she has the potential to make an immediate impact in our attack with her ability to
create for herself as well as her teammates. In getting to know Sophie throughout
this process, it was evident that she is a great fit and we can’t wait to get her
here.”
Fondren is a senior midfielder with veteran experience, having started in all but
one game at SFA. She scored nine goals and notched 18 assists in her three years
with the Lumberjacks. Fondren was named to the All-Southland Second Team the last
two seasons and earned a Southland All-Tournament Team nod in 2018.
“I’m so excited to continue my soccer career at WKU,” Fondren said. “I’ve never been
to Bowling Green, but thanks to all the players and coaches who have been so
welcoming and helpful through this transition it feels like home already. Even in
this time of uncertainty, this decision seemed so clear. I can’t wait to get on the
field with this talented group and win a ring.”
The Frisco, Texas native scored three goals and recorded eight assists last season
at SFA.
Fondren will be only the sixth Lady Topper to hail from the state of Texas in
program history.
