July 6, 2008Puerto Rico-Two future Yellowjacket soccer players set to report on campus this fall, first have a little business to take care of on their home turf. Incoming freshman Richard Pardo (Houston, Texas) and Hector Ramos (Puerto Rico) are key members of the Puerto Rican under-20 national soccer team.
On July 23 on the island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands Pardo (pictured on front page #7) and Ramos (pictured in blue #18) will be facing the U-20 squad from Jamaica in the World Cup Qualifier, an incredible honor for these two young men. Pardo, born in Puerto Rico, comes from great bloodlines and follows in his father's footsteps who also played for the Puerto Rican National Team.
