Following an improved season with the Trappers, two sophomores on the women’s soccer team are moving up to the next level of competition. Larissa Santos and Kindee Lewis signed their letter of intents (LOI) to play at four-year institutions.

Santos signed her LOI to play at Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa, competing in NAIA Division II.

“I did everything that I wanted to accomplish when I came here in 2020, and if I can still play that is what I love to do,” Santos said.

Over her two years at Northwest, Santos played in 24 games, primarily as a defender and midfielder, totaling four shots and an assist in the 2021 spring season.

Coming to Wyoming from Brazil, Santos was looking to move to a new, affordable university as an international student — a school where she could receive a good scholarship and education.

“I am going to miss the community I got here,” Santos said. “I feel like it was my home away from home. It was difficult in the beginning but I think I got good friends and staff here and I hope my next school will be like that too.”
