Nick SotoThanks to explosive growth at the high school level in recent years, college-age women are finding more and more opportunities to compete in the "oldest and greatest sport."
Soto is eager to guide women wrestlers to new competitive opportunities at St. Andrews.
"We are extremely excited about the start of our women's wrestling program," according to Soto. "It's great to see more and more women competing in the sport and we are grateful to be able to provide an opportunity where these student-athletes can earn a quality education and compete at a high level. Laurinburg is a great place with a tight-knit, friendly community and we're eager to get going!"
Athletic Director Elizabeth Burris weighed in with her support for these new competitive opportunities for female student-athletes, saying, "this is really good for our institution and something we've wanted to do for a long time." Burris added that these are the third and fourth sports that have been added to St. Andrews athletics in the last two years.
