Soccer: Briar Woods Senior Samantha Russell to Play at James Madison Next Year

(Sept. 7, 2011) - Briar Woods High School senior central defender and one of the Falcons captains, Samantha Russell, will play next year at NCAA Division I James Madison University.

Russell is part of a "college choice" trend as Briar Woods now has six athletes from the Class of 2012 verbally committed, more than any other high school in Loudoun, and of the 41 athletes on our charts, 17 of them are slated to play soccer in college, more than any other sport.
