Cards Sign Morris Sisters
Louisville women's soccer was already set to have one pair of twins on the roster in the 2025-26 season with incoming freshman Karina and Kiley Peat from Wilmington, North Carolina. If that wasn't enough, though, their quantity of twins will be twice as nice as the team announced the signing of Taylor and Trista Morris earlier this week.

The Morris sisters were committed to join UofL next year anyway, but Karen Ferguson-Dayes will get the talented local products a season sooner as the two decided to reclassify and leave high school one year earlier. Out of the J. Graham Brown School, the two play club soccer for Racing Louisville. About the two, KFD had this to say: "Super excited to add Taylor and Trista to our 2025 class. Taylor is a dangerous and elusive forward who has a knack for scoring goals and Trista is an excellent defender who has the ability to play centrally or wide at the back! Both Taylor and Trista are high level athletes and it just made sense to start their development now!"
In high school, Taylor scored 104 goals and had 23 assists. She was a second team All-State honoree and twice was named first team All-Region and first team All-District. Trista scored 36 goals and had 41 assists out of the back. She was All-State honorable mention, made the All-Region first team twice, and was named to the All-A Tournament team three times.
As a former high school soccer player in Louisville, two talented players coming out of Brown caught me off guard. When I played (which was getting to be quite a while ago at this point), Brown fielded a co-ed team and were regularly run off the pitch. For them to have developed not only a girls program but a fairly good one is a testament to the growth of soccer in the city since Louisville City and Racing Louisville set up shop.
As we get ever closer to opening day (August 14th), we'll soon see players wrapping up their summer club duties and getting together on the training grounds at UofL. The addition of the Morris sisters means that Louisville will have 11 newcomers to the squad this season, so the sooner they can start to gel as a team the better.
Until next time, Go Cards!
