Looking for an assistant coach to join our amazing program. Just wanted to put out a post to my social media network in case one of you had a good recommendation.
I was recruiting this weekend & asked about

BREAKING: Women's Soccer passes all COVID testing. 26 student- athletes and 4 members of the coaching staff were tested and all came back negative.
This brings the total to 222 tests and only 2 positive, both asymptomatic from football.
What a job
@JMUCurtCignetti
Promised nothing in the end for two years and shows the quality and character of his leadership. Not an easy job for a coach to have his program maintain focus and excellence with nothing promised. Turned something difficult into something incredible!
I’m not sure people will realize how big of a deal this is during this unsettled time. Allows college coaches who can’t go out and recruit an opportunity to track players and get stats/clips on players from their desk. This will change recruiting even when we can go out!!
Partnership Announcement!

You never know what sacrifices people make in life. Serving your country is a sacrifice by you and your entire family. Proud and thankful of all those serving to protect us across the world. Love these moments that bring a tear when loved ones are reunited. Gets me every time!
Loved every moment of this season with an amazing group of young women. So proud of all we accomplished and the bond that we forged together!

The Dukes were 🔥 🔥 in the classroom in the fall!
✅ 3.41 team GPA
✅ 22 players w/ 3.2 or higher
✅ TWO 4.0 GPAs
Proud of their work and excited to get after it in the spring!

The Dukes are VERY excited to welcome Julie Spracklin to the family!
Coach Spracklin was a Scholar All-American as a player and part of a Misericordia coaching staff that reached the Elite Eight in 2018!
Welcome, Coach Spracklin!

Perspective - Most players can’t fathom not seeing their family at our games on the weekend much less going 3 years without seeing them. Swiss’s sacrifice is epic and her mission is to return with her degree in order to help her family. A purpose greater than herself.💜

“When the clock stopped for me to get subbed off, I looked up at the scoreboard to see it showed 16 seconds remaining: the number I’d worn on my back for four years at JMU.” One of those magical moments not planned but amazing. Honored to be

Struggling with this one…thought we had scored twice 😩. We did grow into that game but have to start with the fire in our belly from the first whistle and look to dictate play. This game needs to become fuel for our next one.
The future is sunny for the Dukes!
For the first time in program history, the Dukes have a ranked class coming to the 'Burg in the fall as they're the 35th best class by

JMU women's soccer is off to its first 2-0 start since 2014, and its depth and leadership are big reasons why.

An amazing group of people. They came to JMU as individuals and are leaving changed as forever friends. Blessed to have part of their journey in life.
