South Orange, N.J. -- Coming off of a strong second season under head coach Josh Osit, the Seton Hall women's soccer program is excited to welcome nine new-student athletes for the 2024 season. The Pirates brought in a balanced recruiting class that can provide an instant impact to all three levels.
In Osit's second year at Seton Hall, the Pirates registered their most BIG EAST points in a season since 2011 and finished with their second-most wins in a season since 2012. Natalie Tavana and Chiara Pucci made All-BIG EAST teams, which was the first time multiple Pirates received All-BIG EAST honors since 2013.
Tavana was also named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first Pirate to receive the honor since SHU Athletics Hall of Famer Kelly Smith won the award in 1999.
