Karla DiJohn, a midfielder on Team Chicago Academy-Botafogo, has accepted a generous scholarship offer to continue her soccer career at Notre Dame College in Cleveland, OH. DiJohn, who plays her prep soccer for Julie Bergstrom at Waubonsie Valley H.S., will be part of Head Coach Mike Shiels’ freshman class in 2013.

Notre Dame College has recently completed the transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II, and will begin play in the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) for the 2012 season. The conference is arguably the strongest Division II conference in the country as it includes national powerhouse Grand Valley State University.
