WLS' FC Indiana Sign Trio Of African Midfielders

The FC Indiana Lionesses of Women's League Soccer announced the signings Tuesday of three midfielders from Africa -- Elizabeth Cudjoe from Ghana, South African Jermaine Seoposenwe and Nigerian Ebere Orji.

The trio were signed a week after FC Indiana signed another African midfielder, Ghana native Adjoa Bayor.

Cudjoe and Orji played for their respective countries in the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Germany.

Cudjoe scored three goals in that tournament, including the lone goal for her team in a 1-1 draw to the US.

Seoposenwe scored her country's only two goals of that tournament.

Orji led Nigeria to the championship game, losing 2-0 to the host country of Germany, but scored a goal in a 1-1 group stage draw to Mexico and was named a finalist for the Golden Ball award to the tournament's best player.
