Diana Dundukova might have been born for business. As a preteen in her western Ukraine town, she recalls selling her toys and magazines to other kids in the neighborhood. Some of the money she earned from that first business venture, she suspects, was used to help pay for plane tickets when she emigrated to western Wisconsin at age 10 with her parents, Igor and Nataliya, and her older brother, Dmytro.

It is standard practice for international athletes to compile a highlight tape to send to coaches at universities in the U.S. at which they would like to play. Stand-out goalie Ernesto Ascenzo of Lima, Peru, did just that.

The Viterbo men’s soccer coaches certainly liked what they saw.
