Quote from Todd Bramble:

“We certainly have high hopes and expectations from this particular class. The talent level of this group is very good. What I love the most is the diverse qualities that we are adding to our team. There is a nice mixture of size, speed and technical abilities to complement our returning players. Individually, each of these young ladies is passionate about Clemson and I find it energizing that we are not only improving our soccer team, but our campus community as a whole.”
