LIVONIA, Mich. –
Head women's soccer coach Paul Thomas announced today that he has signed
Chelsea Shrewsbury to a letter of intent to continue her academic and
athletic careers at Madonna starting this fall. Shrewsbury (Milford, Mich.)
is the fifth player to sign with Madonna.
"Chelsea can play anywhere in the
backline," commented Thomas. "She reads the game very well, is aggressive and
has great pace. Her soccer pedigree is also a great attribute as she has played
at the highest level of club soccer and has been part of the Olympic Development
program. Those experiences will definitely help her as she enters her freshman
year."
Shrewsbury was an all-conference
selection by the Kensington Valley Conference coaches as a junior on the pitch
last season. She was also a "Dream Team" selection in 2007. A defender on the
soccer field has also lettered in equestrian for the Mustangs.
Shrewsbury plans to study business
administration and sport management at Madonna and is the second Milford player
to sign with MU, joining teammate Allie Zemaitis who signed in January.
