Dakota Wesleyan University Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with John Hakari, the head coach. The women's staff is small, with one goalkeeper coach alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistant so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NAIA programs may offer athletic scholarships and follow more flexible recruiting contact rules than the NCAA, so coaches can speak with recruits earlier and more directly.
