Among this year’s Texas State women’s soccer roster are three transfers from other NCAA institutions. Of the trio, two – Caroline Kirschner and Juana Plata – are fifth-year seniors using their extra year of collegiate eligibility, which the NCAA awarded all soccer student-athletes because of the COVID-19 pandemic, in San Marcos.
The duo are key starters on the backline for a position group that had only three returners from the 2021 campaign. They have also helped the Bobcats to a record start at 10-2-2, while currently sitting atop the Sun Belt Conference West Division.
(Kirschner and Plata) have played a huge role and are a reason why we have had so much success this fall.
