HARRISONBURG, Va., June 30, 2014 - James Madison men's soccer Head Coach Tom Martin has announced the program's 2014-15 recruiting class. In addition to five players from Virginia, the athletes represent Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Panama.
"We feel this is a very good incoming class as each individual is a good fit for JMU in many aspects," Martin said. "One of our main goals was to add individuals to make for great competition within the team, and we accomplished that. Another goal was to add individuals that are both good in the locker room and a good fit as JMU student athletes. It is a very balanced class by position and one that we are confident has a high ceiling for the future."
