Ten Freshmen Round Out Women's Soccer Recruiting Class

Buccaneer Soccer Field

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The women's soccer team rounded out the recruiting class ahead of the 2026 season with 10 freshman. Last year, the Bucs posted an 5-5-9 overall record, including 1-2-7 in the Sunshine State Conference. 

“The SSC proved again just how tough of a conference it is and we certainly have our work cut out for us this year,” head coach Jay Harris said. “The new players on the team have improved our depth and athleticism, hopefully leading to a successful season.”

The 10 freshmen join 19 returning letter winners, five January additions and six transfers.
