Goucher Women's Soccer

[Kuiper]

I know these boards tend not to have threads devoted to an individual team, but given the lack of traffic on the Women's Soccer Board and the interest from the Men's Board on the fortunes of Mike Singleton in his move from Men's soccer Final Four participant W&L to Goucher Women's Soccer, I thought it would be worth it to label a thread devoted to the team so fans of Singleton could more easily keep track of how he's doing.

Right now, it looks he's still hustling for players.  This is what he just posted late at night on Friday June 21:

If you are a 2024 grad looking for a spot please let us know as our Admissions is still allowing applicants if you get it in right away

Last year, they had 30 listed on the roster.  7 were seniors.  Assuming none of them are returning for a COVID year, that's not a huge class to replace.  So, my guess is one or more of the following is at work (1) he is trying to upgrade the quality given that he came in too late to really influence most of the recruiting, (2) he lost players with the coaching transition, and/or (3) Admissions is pushing for him to expand the roster to help with enrollment.  Another possibility is that they are either flush with financial aid money and hoping to capitalize on the FAFSA snafu or they aren't and lost a few recruits to it.  In any event, it's not surprising that he is being proactive.
