HUNTSVILLE – There is a touch of Big Red to the Boys in Blue.
Huntsville City FC added some punch to their offense in time for tonight’s match with the addition of former Cornell University star Alioune Ka.
Ka, 21, joins the club following an impressive collegiate career with the Big Red, which included First Team All-Ivy League honors in 2024.
A native of North Richland Hills, Texas, Ka scored 16 goals and added six assists, making 30 starts and 50 appearances across four seasons for Cornell.
Ka, a 6-1 forward, was a driving force for Cornell’s attack last season, starting 18 of 19 matches and tallying eight goals and three assists, including four game-winning goals — a career high. His performances helped propel the team to a 12-2-2 record and a berth in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Prior to college, Ka played for Solar Soccer Club and Richland (Texas) High School, where he was named All-District 3-6A Midfielder MVP in 2019. Known for his pace, size, and finishing ability, Ka brings a proven scoring touch and attacking versatility to the HCFC frontline.
