South Dakota State women's soccer head coach
Brock Thompson announced two transfer additions on Wednesday, with Gabrielle Vivier-Hannay and Eden Brooker set to join the Jackrabbits for the 2019 season.
Â
"Adding two players with two years of college soccer experience will impact our team immediately," Thompson said. "With Gabby we're getting a Division I all-conference defender who has a high soccer IQ and a ton of experience. Eden is a forward who can create opportunities for others or score herself, she can play both central and wide. Above all else we are adding two players who fit our culture of Growth, Family and TMT."
