CLEMSON, S.C. – Eddie Radwanski and his staff added seven new members to their 2016 fall roster on Wednesday, Feb. 3 as part of National Signing Day. The seven members come from six different states and include six field players and one goalkeeper.
Dani Antieau, Sara Duckworth, Julie Mackin, Rachele Manfre, Sarah Osborne, Mackenzie Smith, and Melanie Stiles all signed National Letters of Intent to continue their soccer careers at Clemson.
“We are really excited for this class to join us this summer and become part of the Clemson Family,” said head coach Eddie Radwanski. “We were happy to address so many areas that we have been focusing our recruiting efforts on and bring in two attacking players, three players who can be classified as defensive in nature, a midfielder and we are also brining in a goalkeeper. These players not only address our immediate needs but lay a groundwork for the program as we go forward.”
The new signees join a Clemson program that earned a spot in the ACC Tournament for the first time since 2007 after finishing tied for second in the conference. The team also punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year after finishing the regular season with a 13-3-1 record.
