Boston College women’s soccer coach Jason Lowe announces five signings

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women’s soccer team and head coach Jason Lowe announced the signing of five players to its 2025 class.

The new Eagles arrive from three states in Minnesota, Georgia and Massachusetts with the countries of Ireland and Canada represented as well. The five committed athletes include three defenders, one goalkeeper and one forward.

“We were fortunate to play our ACC season in 2020 and we are further ahead than other programs in terms of identifying our specific needs for next fall,” said Lowe. “Defending was a priority for this class, and we’ve added players with high level experience for both their clubs and national teams. We’ll have a few more additions to announce early next year, but I’m really excited about the talent on our roster.”
