SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer Effect of ECNL on Viking Cup

Hey Harry - At the VC this past weekend, I saw coaches from Lander, Francis Marion, NC State, Coker, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina, Coastal Carolina, College of Chas. and Furman. I can't say if a rep from Yale attended, I may have missed them when I went to the bathroom.

Saw Anderson too!

Yeah? UNC sent someone to watch the Airport vs. Mauldin game? They also sent a coach to San Antonio (along with every other member of the ACC) to watch games between some of the best clubs in the country. I call that multi-tasking at it's best. Maybe not the best use of resources, but good multi-tasking.

How many of these ECNL players are looking to play at colleges other then the ones in the Carolinas and surrounding states?

I know in the past there haven't been many...

On the CESA website, I'm seeing players that have gone to:

Washington & Lee X 4
Kentucky
Richmond
Alabama
Iowa St.
Southern Cal.
Ohio St.
Oklahoma Baptist
West Point
Milligan
Liberty X 2
Vassar
Marshall X 4
Howard
Towson
Villanova
Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
Tampa
Virginia Tech
Radford
Palm Beach Atlantic

Of course, there are many others that played in the Carolinas and Georgia. I think there are lots of players who don't know exactly where they want to go until someone recruits them. Then they research that particular school and make a decision as to whether or not it is a good fit. Thus making it a good idea to get the most exposure playing against the best competition you can find. Sometimes that will mean making choices about what is best for you as a player.

Washington & Lee ???? Are you kidding me??? Where in the @#$% is that?

Washington & Lee is in Lexington VA and boasts one of the better law schools in the country.

Last year the women's soccer team went 10-6-2 overall with a 7-3-1 record in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.
