Racing Louisville FC added a non-roster invitee to its preseason roster, welcoming former Penn State defender Ginger Fontenot, the club announced Monday.
Fontenot joined Racing this week ahead of the team’s preseason trip to Florida.
As a graduate transfer, Fontenot started all 25 matches with Penn State this past season, scoring one and providing two assists. Prior to joining the Nittany Lions, she was a two-time All-Ivy League selection with the University of Pennsylvania.
This move pushes Racing’s preseason roster to 35 players. Louisville started training last week and is working toward a March 15 opener.
