WASHINGTON - Early next week, the Georgetown University women's soccer team will arrive back on the Hilltop as preseason camp for the 2017 season begins. The Hoyas, coming off their most successful season in program history, welcome eight newcomers to the program.
As the preseason draws near, we'll get a chance to know a bit about the incoming freshmen, with Grace Nguyen (Lilburn, Ga./Parkview) this week. Nguyen is a former member of the U.S. U-14 National Team and Region III Olympic Development Program. She attended ECNL National Camp in 2016 and captained her club team to USYSA National Championship in 2015 and to three regional championships (2013-15).
