SWOSU Soccer Adds Seven For 2013 Season

Southwestern Oklahoma State soccer coach Mark Persson announced the signing of seven high school seniors to a National Letter of Intent for the 2013 season.

Of the seven signees, all of which are from Oklahoma, the Bulldogs added three forwards, three midfielders and one defender to a squad that finished the 2012 season with a record of 20-1-1 and their first appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The majority of that team will return in 2013 following the graduation of just four seniors.

Persson will enter his fifth season at SWOSU in 2013.

Below is the list of 2013 Southwestern Oklahoma State soccer signees:
