Boston College women’s soccer adds 10 student-athletes to roster

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women’s soccer program has added 10 student-athletes to the 2020 roster, head coach Jason Lowe announced on Friday.

The new Eagles arrive from five different states including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California, Wisconsin, and New Jersey with the countries of Iceland, Canada and Germany represented as well. The group includes eight first-year student-athletes as well as two transfers.

“I am excited about this class for so many reasons,” said Lowe. “We expanded our recruiting footprint and added a diverse mix of talent and experience. To live in Boston, compete in the ACC and study at BC is a special opportunity. Rachel Moreland and Jami Kranich have done a great job putting together a class that is eager to make an impact on the field and in the classroom.”
