BOULDER – University of Colorado soccer head coach Danny Sanchez announced the signing of two student-athletes on Tuesday. Isobel Dalton (Caloundra, Queensland, Australia) and Hannah Scheid (Waldsolms, Germany) both signed financial aid agreements to join the Buffaloes for the 2016 season. The two student-athletes join five that signed in February, bringing the incoming recruiting class to seven.
Dalton, a 5-foot-6 midfielder, is a transfer from Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky, where she led the team to the NAIA national finals last season. As a freshman, she scored seven goals and had two assists in seven starts. She also has extensive international experience, playing for the Australian U-15, U-16 and U-17 national teams and started matches in Korea, China and Malaysia and at home against New Zealand. In 2013, she helped Australia win a World Cup pre-qualifier in Manila, Philippines. She also led Unity College in Queensland to three consecutive state championships while in high school.
Prior to the 2015 college season, she lived in England for a year where she played in the WSL1 for Bristol City FC. Dalton also spent time with the Brisbane Roar in the Australian W-League. Her older brother will play soccer at the University of Buffalo next season and her father coaches soccer, including time as an assistant at Hofstra University. She will major in sociology at CU.
Scheid, a 5-foot-7 outside midfielder/defender, joins the Buffaloes after playing in Germany for two years. She has played as an amateur in the second division of the Bundesliga, where she started all 20 matches and is team captain for Hessen Wetzlar in 2015-16. Scheid led Hessen Wetzlar to the Regionaligga title and promotion to Bundesliga 2 and Hesse Cup championship after the 2014-15 season.
Scheid spent the 2013 season at Ashford University, where she was third on the team in scoring with four goals and four assists in starting all 16 matches as a true freshman. At CU, she will major in biology.
“Both Izzy and Hannah are great additions to our university and soccer program,” Sanchez said. “They have extensive international experience and are versatile players. They can both play multiple spots in the midfield and along the back line. We are excited that they decided to be Buffs and look forward to seeing them this summer.”
Colorado is coming off a 7-10-3 season and will open the 2016 season on August 19.
