The Ole Miss women’s soccer team officially welcomed nine freshman recruits who are joining the 2017 team on Monday.
The nine new players – Sophie Dineen, Alyssa Frazier, Emily Holten, Grace Johnson, Molly Martin, Sydney Michalak, Madison Smith, Chanel Thomas and Channing Foster — include four defenders, one midfielder and three forwards.
Assistant coach Melissa Terry said the recruiting process is strict and detailed.
“This is the best recruiting class in 8 years,” Terry said.
Terry and the other coaches spend 15 to 20 weekends during the spring and summer on the road looking for the next additions to their team.
