SAN ANGELO, TX – Angelo State University announced Thursday 15 athletes have signed a letter of intent to compete for ASU next fall.
"This is a good group of girls with diverse backgrounds and experience," said Head Coach of the Rambelle Soccer Team Travis McCorkle. "We've added some speed, some skill, and some feisty competitors. I'm confident they will make the sum of our team better both on and off the field."
After finishing the 2019 season in sixth-place in the Lone Star Conference at 12-5-2, ASU saw the 2020 slate pushed back to spring, beginning competition in mid-February. The Belles will graduate seven players after the spring as McCorkle is set to reload his roster heading into the 2021-22 campaign.
