Lauren Nidey, Addison Werth, and Kiersten White have committed to play soccer for the Milwaukee Panthers next season. The announcement was made by head coach Kevin Boyd.

"Our 2025 class consists of just three players, as we were very specific on what our needs were," Boyd stated. He praised Lauren Nidey as an excellent goalkeeper with impressive athletic skills and a strong club background. Kiersten White is noted for her tactical and technical abilities in midfield, while Addison Werth is recognized for her exceptional pace and explosiveness as a forward.

Nidey has had a distinguished high school career at Waukee High School in Iowa, earning multiple accolades including First Team Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association 3A All-State honors in 2024. She has also been active in club soccer with VSA Rush, achieving success at both state and national levels.

Werth, from Oregon High School in Wisconsin, has been instrumental in her team's success at the state championships. Her notable achievements include being named Second Team Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-State in 2024 and leading her team to victory in the state title game.

White plays for Lincoln-Way West High School in Illinois and has built a successful club career with Chicago Inter. She earned recognition on the all-sectional team as a junior and was included on the Chicagoland Soccer All-State Watch List.

The recruitment of these players follows a larger class last year. Coach Boyd expressed satisfaction with the new recruits: "We are quite happy with this class and look forward to welcoming them next fall."
