MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama State University women's head soccer coach Jodie Smith announced the 2020 signing class for the Lady Hornets' program that features seven student-athletes.

The class features the following student-athletes:

Alexa DeLong, Midfielder, Williamston (Mich.) / Williamston HS / Michigan Hawks Club Team
"Will look for her to play across the midfield," Smith said. "She has great vision and her distribution of the ball will be important for us."

Zelia Griffith, Defender, Livonia (Mich.) / Stephenson High School / Michigan Hawks Club Team
"Strong defender that can play in the middle and on the outside," Smith said. "She is really good at helping the team transition into the attack."

Grace Norbury, Midfielder, Melbourne (Australia) / Sacre Coeur Academy / Bayside United
"A true box to box midfielder that can both win the ball in defense and quickly transition into supporting our attack going forward," Smith said.

Madison Roop, Goalkeeper, Salem (Va.) / Salem HS / Metro DA Club Team
"Good hands," Smith said. "She does a great job of communicating and organizing her defense in front of her."

Kassandra Schoen, Forward, St. Michaels (Minn.) / Albertville HS / Salvo DA Club Team
"Really likes to get forward and attack the goal," Smith said. "Her speed and finishing will be a big part of our attack over the next 4 years." 

Alexandra Shimasaki, Midfielder/Forward, Santa Rita (Guam) / Guam HS / Mission Heat/Jacksonville Armada Club Teams
"Always involved in the attack," Smith said. "Great at finding teammates or going to goal herself…really effective scoring from distance."

Rylee Stoehner, Midfielder Cape Coral (Fla.) / Ida S. Baker HS / FGC Dutch Lions FC Club Team
"Strong and physical, able to hold the ball and makes great decisions," Smith said. "Does a great job of getting the ball to the forwards in dangerous areas."
