Brenau soccer announces the signing of Millie York to the 2014-2015 team.

York is a transfer from Barton Community College in Great Bend, Kansas, where she was a 2013-2014 First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-Region selection.

A native of Hove, England, the defender was the Hove Park High School 2007 Sports Personality of the Year and the 2010 Chelsea Academy Player of the Year.

According to head coach Mike Lochstampfor, York is expected to have a solid impact on his #17 ranked Golden Tigers squad.

"Millie is a tremendous addition to our program and I'm so excited that she's chosen to attend Brenau University and play soccer", said Lochstampfor. "She has a phenomenal work ethic, is talented and experienced and has a great passion for the game! I was impressed with her in many ways throughout the recruiting process and believe she fits the role of a solid central midfield player that can step in and fill some big shoes for us. She is equally driven to excel academically and will be a great fit for the university."

The Golden Tigers will kick off the 2014 season on August 23rd against Appalachian Athletic Conference foe Tennessee Wesleyan College. The match is scheduled for a 7pm start at Allen Creek Soccer Complex in Gainesville, Ga.
