Bowdoin College Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Brianne Smithson, the head coach. The women's staff is small, with 2 assistant coaches alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistants so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NCAA Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships. Aid at D3 schools comes through academic merit and need based packages, and D3 coaches often recruit later in the cycle than D1 programs. For a program ranked where Bowdoin College sits, expect the staff to be evaluating early and hearing from many players, so lead with your strongest verifiable results and a short highlight link.

Bowdoin College is a private small school in a college town with about 1,873 undergraduates. On a campus this size the women's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 7 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1470 to 1550, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
