BIG RAPIDS - Seeking a balanced lineup, Ferris State University soccer coach Neathan Gibson, who is entering his fourth season in charge, is looking to strengthen his team at midfield and defensively with the signings of Lowell's Logan DeClercq, a defender, and Brighton's Merideth Wetterholt, a midfielder.These two recruits show Gibson attracting student-athletes, from both sides of the Lower Peninsula, to Ferris. DeClercq and Wetterholt will begin showcasing their college-level skills this fall when the team arrives on campus to begin preseason preparation.
Gibson on DeClercq:
"Logan's athleticism is going to make us more dangerous in the backfield. Logan adds to the strength of our team and will give us more options with her pace and tactical awareness going forward."
Gibson on Wetterholt:
"Merideth comes to Ferris State as a midfielder which will provide more depth in giving us many tactical choices."
DeClercq and Wetterholt give Ferris two more recruits to help the Bulldogs build on last season's record of 9-9-1 overall and 8-7-1 in the GLIAC. Last season, Ferris made its second straight appearance in the GLIAC Tournament and advanced to the semifinals.
