CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The College of Charleston women's soccer team signed seven student-athletes on National Signing Day, head coach Christian Michner announced. 

Head Coach Christian Michner: "The 2022 class is another really special group of players and we are excited to welcome them into our program. We spent a lot of time getting to know each one of them and their families as we navigated this challenging period over the past 18 months. I have to take my hat off to my assistant coaches, Shanna and Allison, who did an incredible job assembling this group. This class joins an already outstanding group of returners and has the potential to step in and really make a major impact right away. We are so proud to add these seven ladies and know the future is bright in Charleston."
