FMSpro is proud to announce the commitment of Isabella Cardinale to the University of Southern Mississippi (NCAA D1).

Isabella is a powerful and dynamic central midfielder currently competing for Pickering in the OPDL. A standout 2009-born talent, she is known for her aggressive style and relentless work rate off the ball. Isabella possesses an exceptional ability to read the game, excel at intercepting passes, and breaking up opposition play as a holding midfielder. Offensively, she is just as impactful, using her elite range of passing and vision to break lines and facilitate the attack.

Prior to her success with Pickering, Isabella was a vital component of the midfield for Markham, where she consistently demonstrated her high soccer IQ and “heart-on-the-sleeve” playing style. While she drew interest from several programs, the opportunity to compete in the highly respected Sun Belt Conference proved to be the perfect fit.

Southern Miss head coach Danny Owens is focused on elevating the program into a perennial championship contender, and Isabella is expected to play a key role in that mission.

Off the field, Isabella is an exemplary student-athlete who maintains a very strong GPA.

Big congratulations, Isabella! We wish you the very best of luck as you take your talents down south and trade the snow for the Golden Eagles’ pitch.
