Widener University Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Melissa Franks, the head coach. Widener University carries a larger women's soccer staff, with 3 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 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. Widener 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.

Widener University is a private mid sized school on a suburban campus with about 2,951 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the women's soccer staff typically works with admissions but does not control it, so have your transcript ready when a coach asks. The acceptance rate is 71 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1080 to 1290, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
