NASHVILLE – The Lipscomb men's soccer team and head coach
Charles Morrow announced the 2022 recruiting class on Friday, adding nine newcomers to the squad.
"This class completes a roster that on paper could be the most talented group we have ever assembled here at Lipscomb," said head coach
Charles Morrow. "That won't win us games, but it is exciting to know what this group is capable of. Many have contributed time, energy and resources into making this happen and I personally am grateful to everyone who had a hand in making this class a reality," said Morrow.
The staff is bringing in a multi-faceted class from five different countries and two different states to bolster a roster that lost four seniors from last season's ASUN Championship squad.
"We are very excited about this talented and accomplished group. We feel that we have filled specific needs in this class that will be able to step in and help right away, as well as bolstering the group to make us stronger throughout the depth chart," added Morrow.
