Nevada Women’s Soccer has announced the addition of six new student-athletes to its roster, marking a significant step for the program’s future. The recruits are set to join the Wolf Pack and continue their academic and athletic careers in Reno.
Coach Evans commented on the new class, stating, “I couldn’t be more ecstatic about this incoming class, including our mid-year transfer in Avery who is with us now. Our coaching staff worked quickly and diligently in identifying our immediate and long-term needs, and these players fit perfectly into the culture we’re creating and our vision for the program. These players have achieved tremendous success at the high school and club level, or at the junior college level, and their collective qualities and experience will bring immediate success to the University of Nevada. While coaching transitions can be challenging, bringing in high-quality players and people like we have made the transition much smoother. I can confidently say that every member of this class represents the player qualities our coaching staff covets. When we combine the hard work that our current players are exhibiting daily with the 2026 recruiting class, we are ready and excited to usher in this new era of Nevada soccer.”
The group includes Avery Hayes from Reno, who transfers from Lake Tahoe Community College after contributing to an eighth consecutive conference title for her team. Hayes was recognized as All-NorCal and named conference Midfielder of the Year. She also played a key role at McQueen High School during its 2023 state championship season.
