The Ole Miss soccer team will soon be without its leader on and off the pitch. Channing Foster, the Rebels’ leading goal scorer and four-time SEC honoree is exhausting her remaining eligibility before heading north in January 2022.
Foster was drafted 32nd overall into the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) by the Chicago Red Stars. While Foster was surprised, the pick came after four seasons of success for her at Ole Miss. In her freshman season in 2017, Foster netted 12 goals, second only to Ole Miss record holder CeCe Kizer. In the three years since, Foster has totaled 35 goals and many SEC honors.
