How to approach this coaching staff
Start with Michael Piranian, the head coach. Wilkes University carries a larger men'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. Wilkes 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.
Wilkes University is a private small school on an urban campus with about 1,985 undergraduates. On a campus this size the men's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 91 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1020 to 1250, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
