2004 Signees

Clemson Women's Head Coach Todd Bramble has inked four student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. The four players include Jacquelyn Hines (D.W. Daniel), Lou Hudson (Wando), Logan Hull (Lakewood, CO), and Ashley Phillips (West Peabody, MA).

Wow! Three national team players (out of the six total - two that began in this spring and four this coming fall). Another player who has won a national championship. And two other players from SC who have high-level regional competitive experience and are flat-out awesome players.

Normally you have to discount press releases; but the comment about "amazing amount of talent" might just be an understatement.

Congratulations to Clemson on a truly awesome recruiting class.

And in terms of South Carolina women's club soccer, congratulations and thanks to GFC and MPSC for providing a great competitive environment for three of these outstanding players.

Soccer players get in on Signing Day

While football was the focus of Wednesday's National Signing Day, athletes from other sports signed on the dotted line, a reward for years of hard work.

At Wando High School, four talented members of the girls' soccer team picked their colleges of choice.

Lou Hudson signed with Clemson, Kelly McGinty signed with the College of Charleston, Laura Saunders signed with Southern Methodist University and Greta Hewett signed with Newberry. Another Warrior soccer player, Rachel Bisnet, will walk on at Purdue.

Hudson and McGinty were recently named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas Girls High School Scholar All-America Team with grade-point averages over 4.0.

Hudson and McGinty were two of only 38 girls on the team, while Wando was only one of four schools to have two players selected.

They were just as talented on the soccer field. McGinty led the Warriors to a 19-2 record, including 9-1 in Region 7-AAAA with 36 goals and 19 assists. Hudson had 10 goals and seven assists.

Saunders scored seven goals and had four assists, while Bisnett accounted for 10 goals and two assists.

The Warriors are shooting for a big season this spring. They were ranked third in the state in Class AAAA in the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association preseason poll.
