RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State women’s soccer coach Steve Springthorpe announced Thursday he is adding Randi Soldat and Hannah Eshraghi to his incoming class for the 2010 fall semester.
Springthorpe now has 11 players that make up his first full recruiting class as he prepares for his second season at the helm of the Wolfpack.

During her time at Rockwall, she was named first team all-district her final two seasons, and was on the 2009 4A All-Region II team as a midfielder. She played a role in leading her club to the "Sweet 16" of the Texas playoffs for the first time in school history.
Soldat was also a key figure in her ODP clubs national championship run in 2009.
She also participated in cross country and track, earning a combined seven letters, and qualified for regionals in both sports three out of four years.
Also a standout in the classroom, she is a member of the National Honor Society, is an AP Scholar and earned the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her work with the Boys and Girls Club, the Ronald McDonald House and the Salvation Army.
