Building a championship-caliber college sports program begins with recruiting. For the University of Colorado women’s soccer team, securing elite in-state players and finding top talent are high priorities. This year’s team is composed of seven in-state and 18 out-of-state players.
The NCAA permits four years of eligibility in a five-year period, which means head coach Danny Sanchez must replace his graduated seniors with new recruits or transfers after each season. Sanchez graduated seven seniors last year and his 2019 team reflects this guideline with plenty of fresh faces.
“We have a lot of new players,” Sanchez said.
