Gardner-Webb University Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Samantha Thomsit, the head coach. Gardner-Webb University carries a larger women's soccer staff, with 3 assistant coaches and one staff listed beside the head coach. On staffs this size recruiting is usually split, so address the head coach and include the assistant most likely to run recruiting.

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. Gardner-Webb University ranks in the lower part of its division by Massey rank, so a prepared recruit who follows up is more likely to get a direct look than at a top ranked program.

Gardner-Webb University is a private small school on a rural campus with about 1,856 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.
