MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg women's soccer head coach Brandon West has announced the program's incoming class for the 2022 season. The group is comprised of 11 players and will join a collection of returners coming off an historic 2021 campaign that saw the Lions make their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament after winning the second conference championship in program history.

"I am very excited for this class to show up this preseason and join a group that is returning a lot of talent from last year's championship team," said West about his incoming group. "This class' athleticism, combined with soccer ability and competitive tenacity, is unique, and I am excited to see the impact this class will have on the field. More importantly, this class is made up of young women who want to work hard, are competitive, and value everything we stand for in our program. They will not just have an impact on the field, but off it as well and for that, I am even more excited."
