PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland State women's soccer team announced the signing of 10 players Monday as part of National Signing Day.
 
The incoming class features seven players from Oregon, including four from the Portland area, as well as two players from Arizona and one from California.
 
The Vikings' signing class will add depth to what should be an already deep team in 2017, as the Vikings return 10 of the 11 players who started at least 10 matches last season. Additionally, the Vikings anticipate signing three to four more players ahead of their 2017 fall season.
