Jenny Fricke, El Toro midfielder, has signed a letter of intent to play women’s soccer at the University of San Francisco, her mother, Shelly, said Tuesday.

Fricke did not play this season because of a broken leg she initially suffered in November. As a junior, Fricke was a second-team All-Southern Section Division I selection and first-team All-South Coast League selection. She also was named to all-league teams in volleyball and softball.
