Macalester College Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Marissa Olson-Guillou, 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. Macalester College 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.

Macalester College is a private small school on an urban campus with about 2,131 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 29 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1350 to 1510, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
