CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina inked 10 incoming prep athletes to financial aid agreements during the early signing period, head coach Rachel Shuck Whitten announced Tuesday.

"We are very excited to welcome the 2026 signing class to the Chanticleer family," Whitten said. "We have athletes coming from all over the country, and each brings something different to make the class whole. I cannot wait to see where this group can take our program."

The class includes four defenders, four midfielders, one attacker and one goalkeeper, representing eight states.

Coastal Carolina opens the 2026 season Feb. 6 against Longwood.
