Falcon Women’s Soccer Players Moving On
Daytona Beach, FL – Falcon soccer had one of its most memorable seasons ever in 2022, and most of the sophomore class that led the charge signed national letters of intent to continue their soccer careers at four-year schools.
Daytona State College Falcon soccer head coach Hope Clark said she is grateful for the opportunity to be a part of these young women’s journeys and they helped her establish her culture and success of the program.
“A relatively small class, but a very successful one,” Clark said. “They have won a lot of games over their two years, made it to the Region 8 finals twice and put us in the national rankings.” “I am beyond proud of this group of young women and look forward to following their careers, as I know they will represent Daytona State well.”
