University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s soccer coach Gavin McKinney announced Thursday the signings of 11 players to national letters of intent. None are from the Chattanooga area, but all are from Tennessee, with nine from the midstate region.
Offensive standout Amber Brayer and defensive star Sarah Harter are coming to the Mocs from Independence High School in Franklin, while Alex Scearce signed out of Franklin’s Centennial High, Jordan Mueller from Beech High and Catherine Meyer from Pope John Paul II High in Hendersonville and Catherine Cocke from Father Ryan High and Kara Wegner from Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville.
UTC also got Cameron Hills from Spring Hill High and all-state goalkeeper Melia Correa from Clarksville High.
The East Tennessee signees are Bailey Gale from South-Doyle High in Knoxville and Anna Moore from Bristol. Moore is home-schooled but played three seasons for Tennessee High and was its team MVP each year.
“We’re really excited for our 2016 signing class,” McKinney said in the UTC release. “We’ve worked really hard to identify the top players in the state of Tennessee. We feel that we’ve brought in some players who are going to add a lot of depth to the program.”
