How to approach this coaching staff

Start with Brent Leiba, the head coach. Howard University carries a larger women's soccer staff, with 4 assistant coaches 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. Howard 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.

Howard University is a private large school on an urban campus with about 10,108 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.
