STATESBORO, Ga. – Head coach Brian Dunleavy completed his 2018 signing class last Wednesday signing eight new girls for the 2018 season. This is the second year in a row Dunleavy has recruited seven plus girls. The 2018 class consists of three international student-athletes and five student-athletes from all over the East Coast.

The Eagles finished the 2017 season with an 8-9-2 record and advanced to the Sun Belt Conference Semifinals for just the second time in program history. With the addition of the eight new signees, the women's soccer program splits the Florida/Georgia line at eight members a piece. The Eagles have had success in these areas for recruiting and look to building upon the culture they have instilled in the program.

"We are really excited about the 2018 signing class," Head coach Brian Dunleavy said. "We've got eight players coming in and one is already here on campus with us this spring. We are really excited about the group because of the athletic ability across the board. We feel we have a really good group coming back in 2018 and the core of our team is here. The culture of our team has been set and we feel these eight players are really going to enhance that."
