South Dakota State women’s soccer coach Brock Thompson announced six signees as part of Wednesday’s national signing day. All six additions will enroll at SDSU for the 2019-20 school year as incoming freshman and be eligible to play immediately for the Jackrabbits
The newest Jacks are Reagan Anderson (Omaha, Neb.), Emily Cameron (Louisville, Colo.), Delaney Grant (Omaha, Neb.), Maya Hansen (Savage, Minn.), Jocelyn Tanner (Ham Lake, Minn.) and Maureen (Mo) Tolley (Omaha, Neb.).
“Today is an exciting day for us as we welcome six new players into our program,” Thompson said. “It’s really the culmination of a lot of work over a few years. Certainly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Andy Janssen and Caylee Costello, our assistants who do a ton of work with recruiting to kind of cultivate prospects, see a lot of soccer games and select the right players for Jackrabbit soccer. So, it’s an exciting day and I’m really excited to welcome these six into our family.”
