June 04, 2025 | Women's Soccer
SEATTLE – Washington women's soccer head coach Nicole Van Dyke has announced the signing of the sixth member of UW's incoming freshman class, adding goalkeeper Cadi Doran on Wednesday.
Doran, a native of Rhyl, Wales, joins previous signees Vanessa Aguilar, Angelica Chou, Maylen Montoya, Mary Camp Newton and Anouk Westphal.
Despite coming to Montlake as a freshman, Doran will bring experience at the professional level, suiting up between the posts for both Liverpool Feds of the FA National League, England's third tier, as well as Liverpool Football Club's U21 development team.
Doran has also sported her home nation's badge, playing internationally for Wales.
