SEATTLE (May 28) - Kye Taylor, a past member of Canada's Under-23 national team, has signed a scholarship agreement to play soccer at Seattle Pacific University beginning this fall.

Taylor, a 5-foot-11 midfielder/defender, is transferring from Coastal Carolina, where he played as a freshman last fall. He graduated from Max Cameron School in Powell River, B.C., in 2002.

Taylor, who played for Canada in youth international series both in Central America and Germany, is the second recruit signed by Coach Cliff McCrath. Mike Morris of Seattle's Bishop Blanchet High School signed earlier this month.

SPU, a five-time NCAA Division II champion, returns eight starters from a team which went 11-6-2 last season. It has qualified for the playoffs 28 times while posting 32 consecutive winning seasons.
