CONWAY – First year Coastal Carolina women’s soccer head coach Paul Hogan announced his 2011 recruiting class on Wednesday.

“This is a very strong group of players,” said Hogan.  “All of these ladies have experience playing and winning at a high level -- whether it be playing club or high school -- and I look forward to each of them contributing immediately in the fall.  We lost a significant amount of scoring production to graduation, however, I believe that we are able to replace most of that with the outstanding skill and desire to win that this class holds. Our goal is not only to win the Big South regular season, but also advance to the NCAA tournament and this class has the potential to help us do that.”
