Jackie Wandt, FC Milwaukee Nationals
Commitment: Verbal to Northern Illinois for the 2013 season.

Reason: “Ultimately, I chose Northern Illinois due to the welcoming environment created by the coaching staff and the girls,” Wandt said. “I felt right at home and the university fit all of my academic needs.”

Wandt is a tough and technical center back who has a unique way of training for the game – by swimming.

“I’ve been a competitive swimmer since I was eight,” she said. “It’s really had a direct impact on helping me get to the next level of my career. Swimming is great cross-training, but soccer is a lot more fun.”
