(May 10, 2012) - Broad Run High School grad and rising University of Florida senior Holly King is one of six local players to sign with the D.C. United Women pro-am team for the summer season. Also signing, pending league approval, were Danielle DeLisle (Virginia), Katie Yenson (Virginia Tech), Molly Menchel (Virginia), Diana Weigel (William & Mary) and Katy Colas (Duke).

D.C. United Women fans will get a look at these former local youth standouts turned college stars - beginning this Saturday when Boston Breakers visit the Maryland SoccerPlex for a preseason exhibition.

"It's exciting to be bringing in top-flight players from some of the elite soccer schools in the country," said Head Coach Mike Jorden. "Florida, Duke, UVA, William & Mary and Virginia Tech all have great tradition and it will be interesting to see their styles mesh on the same field for us this summer."

Perhaps the most promising of the group of six is King, a three-year starter at Florida. King led the Gators in minutes on the pitch last season as a junior and recorded three goals and three assists. She is a former two-time Virginia state player of the year from her time at Broad Run High School, where she was also a part of two state championship teams. King played for the Washington Freedom program from 2008-2009, and this summer makes her return to the D.C. soccer scene.
