LUBBOCK, Texas - With fall practices less than a month away, the incoming class of Red Raider soccer players is already on campus and taking summer classes. Since all 11 newcomers are currently enrolled, they can participate in summer workouts. We will try to meet all the newcomers this summer, and today we have Casey McCall and Maggie Fete.
McCall, a Frisco, Texas, native, previously played for the FC Dallas soccer club, while Fete hails from Warren, N.J., and comes from PDA Power.
Q&A with Casey and Maggie
What is the main difference between your hometown and Lubbock?
Casey: "Lubbock is a lot bigger than Frisco. The atmosphere is different because Lubbock is more established and is full of college students and Frisco has a lot of young families."

Casey: "I love the school spirit and how friendly everyone is here. The community really is all about Texas Tech University. It truly is a college town."

Maggie: "I would like to contribute to the success of last year's team and work toward earning a starting spot."
How do you feel about your new teammates?

Maggie: "My new teammates are extremely nice and welcomed all the newcomers the right way."
What's your favorite part about being a Red Raider?
