Marianapolis senior female basketball player Caroline Soucy signed her National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, November 11 to play for the University of New Hampshire Wildcats.  Soucy is the second Lady Knight in two years to sign on with an NCAA Division I program.  Last year Rachel Aho moved on to Providence College.

Soucy, who comes from Beverly, Mass., is in her third season of varsity basketball at Marianapolis under coach Lauren Moore.  Last season the combo guard and captain of this season’s team, averaged 14 points and four rebounds per game, while dishing out four assists and three steals per contest.  She was named to the NEPSAC Class A All Star team for her performance.

In signing with UNH Soucy indicated that she made her decision because she was comfortable with the Durham, New Hampshire campus, the coaches and future teammates on her visits to the school.

“I could see myself at UNH even if I were not to play a sport and I think that is what is most important.  I hope to be a big contribution to the team over the next few years and help them win a title,” said Soucy.

As Soucy moves on to New Hampshire, she joins a program that is a member of the America East Conference.

Soucy is the daughter of Lorraine and Paul Soucy of Beverly.
