NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Merrimack College women's soccer program signed six new members of the 2030 class this winter. The program is in its third year of competition in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) at the Division I level.
All six members of the 2030 class bring a different element to the program's current status. One goalkeeper, a midfielder, a forward and a number of defenders highlight the class. Coach Mejaíl brings in a number of all-state players including two players with experience with national teams.
"I am very excited to welcome the class of 2030," said head coach
Gabe Mejaíl. "While we lost some great talent and leadership from our departing seniors this past season, the incoming class is motivated and talented and I am confident that they will help overcome their loss and contribute to continued success in the future. All of our incoming players are tremendous athletes as well as excellent students; they have the potential to provide us with another talented and deep group next fall as we continue our quest for excellence.
