CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston Women's Soccer Head Coach Christian Michner has announced the signing of eight student-athletes to National Letters of Intent on a productive national signing day for the College of Charleston women's soccer program.
 
"The 2020 Signing Class is an exciting group of players that we are adding to our program. They all bring different qualities and will certainly raise our level of play on the field in a variety of positions, said Michner. "They've competed domestically at the highest youth levels this country offers and internationally on the biggest stage, the Champions League. I know that these types of experiences are invaluable and will be a huge resource as players take their game to the next level.
