Thulin is the third signee this season to have ties to the Slammers Soccer Club in Newport Beach, Calif. Fellow signees Derieg and Zavalza also played for the club.
Thulin was part of a Hawks team at SCC that went 26-1 last season and won two straight Orange Empire Conference titles.
She led the team with 16 assists and, tallied 13 goals and was named First-Team All-OEC.
"Kaitlin is a competitor and playmaker who will make an instant impact in the Fall," Bush said. "She has leadership qualities of a seasoned college player and will be a tremendous addition for our 2008 squad."
