BELLEVUE, Neb. -- Bellevue University head women's soccer coach Tom White has announced the signing of Adi Kasel (Omaha, Neb.) to a letter of intent to continue her academic and athletic careers at Bellevue beginning next fall.

The daughter of Joe and Heather Kasel, Adi attends Westside High School under the guidance of Chris Dunford.

During her high school career to date, she has contributed 22 goals and seven assists (41 points). Moreover, Kasel has led the Warriors to twice qualify for Class A State as well as scoring the game-winning goal to reach the semifinal for the first time in 16 years.

Coach White on Kasel:

"We are very excited that Adi will be joining us this fall. Her energy and willingness to score goals is going to elevate us to the next level. Adi's work rate off the ball is second to none so we are expecting her to make an immediate impact when she joins us this fall."
