How to approach this coaching staff
Start with David Costa, the head coach.

As general context, NCAA Division I is the highest level of college soccer. D1 programs may offer athletic scholarships, and most D1 rosters are largely settled a year or more before a recruiting class enrolls. Belmont University ranks in the upper part of its division, so the staff has options; explain in one line why this school and this roster fit you, not just that you want to play college soccer.
Belmont University is a private mid sized school on an urban campus with about 7,137 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the men's soccer staff typically works with admissions but does not control it, so have your transcript ready when a coach asks. The acceptance rate is 95 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1160 to 1350, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
