RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State women's soccer team has signed two early enrollees for the 2017 spring semester, as announced by head coach Tim Santoro. Lexi Moore and Naomi Powell have joined the team and are eligible to train with the program immediately.
Lexi Moore; DEF/MF; Jacksonville, N.C.; Pitt Greenville SC
"Lexi is a tough, athletic, versatile player that will add depth to multiple positions. She's the type of player you wish you had 20 of and someone who, after the spring, will be ready to contribute in the fall."
Moore played club soccer for Pitt Greenville SC, leading her team to a third-place showing at 2016 SRPL East and a championship at the 2016 Jefferson Cup Girls Showcase. In addition to playing with her club, Moore played three seasons of varsity soccer with Jacksonville High School. In 54 games, she tallied 62 points from 24 goals and 14 assists.
Naomi Powell; MF; Charlotte, N.C.; Carolina Rapids
"Naomi is a pure soccer player with great understanding of the game, is technically clean and has great vision. Coming from a soccer family, you can tell she has instincts that aren't in most American players and the spring will give her a head start for fall preparation."
Powell joins the program from the Carolina Rapids where she recently helped lead her club to the USYS 19/20U Red Division title with a game-winning goal. Powell, a 5'6" central midfielder has spent time with the ODP national camp from 2013-14 and also played at Orlando City. She was also named to the 2015 USYS 1999 All-Star Team.
