Women's Soccer 2022 Recruiting Class

WILMORE, Ky. — Asbury Women's Soccer announced today they will welcome a 2022 incoming class of 13. Head Coach Elyse Overton will be leading the Eagles in her fifth year at the helm, looking to utilize this strong class in the 2022 season. AU will open the year on September 1st with a road trip to Hanover College, followed by their first home game September 3rd hosting Covenant College.

I'm especially excited about this freshman class because of their versatility. Each of these ladies is passionate about the game of soccer and have the competitive drive to push our program forward. Each one of them brings a unique perspective to our program and we're excited to see them in action with our returners. We're most excited about the character that they bring to our squad and the representation of our university and Christ they will be. Go Eagles.
