How to approach this coaching staff

Start with Michele O'Brien, the head coach. The women's staff is small, with one associate head coach and one assistant coach 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 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. DePaul University sits in the middle of its division by Massey rank, which is where well prepared club players who reach out early tend to find real conversations.

DePaul University is a private large school on an urban campus with about 14,090 undergraduates. At a large university the women's soccer staff is one of many programs competing for attention, so be specific about position, graduation year, and why this roster. The acceptance rate is 76 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1140 to 1330, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
