LAS CRUCES – New Mexico State women's soccer head coach Freddy Delgado added four more players to complete his 2016 signing class.
 
Raeann Garcia, Amy Gulczynski, Reilly Marks and Adriana "Tuti" Tirado will join seven other signees from the 2016 signing class that have already signed their National Letters of Intent to play at New Mexico State.
 
"The addition of these student-athletes solidifies our 2016 class as one of the strongest in our short history," Delgado said. "Of course they are all good players, but as a group they bring an unmatched enthusiasm and work ethic. They love the game, they love watching it and learning about it. That passion definitely translates to the field. I think this group is going to have an immediate impact in how our current team views the game."
 
Raeann Garcia | San Antonio, Texas
5-8 | Goalkeeper | O'Connor High School
 
Garcia joins the Aggies after posting a solid prep career at O'Connor High School where she led the Panthers to a 15-1-0 overall and league championship her sophomore year.

During her four years at O'Connor High School, the Panthers sported a 46-6-6 record in district play. Garcia never had a goals against average higher than 0.47 in prep play, including a 0.00 GAA her freshman year with the Panthers. She earned district honorable mentions her freshman campaign and was a first-team all-district player her sophomore and junior year.
 
"Raeann is a strong, powerful and seasoned goalkeeper," said Delgado. "We needed to add depth and someone who was going to challenge our current two players. She uses her size very well, especially with crosses and high balls. She definitely brings the experience, explosiveness and leadership necessary to be successful at the college level."
 
Amy Gulczynski | Litchfield Park, Ariz.
5-8 | Midfielder | Phoenix College
 
Gulczynski is transferring to NM State after a year at Phoenix College.

She finished her prep career with a 54-16-3 overall record and 35-5-1 record in league play.
 
"Amy has all the traits of a true central midfielder," Delgado said. "She can attack, defend, assist, score and is good in the air. She combines a very good soccer mind with speed and athleticism. She has a true passion for the game and it shows in her style and work ethic. She has one year of college soccer under her belt, so I think she will be able to step in and contribute from the beginning."
 
Reilly Marks | Tucson, Ariz.
5-7 | Forward | Salpointe Catholic High School
 
Marks made a huge impact her first and only year at Salpointe Catholic High School where she reunited with head coach Becky Barry.

"Reilly is a tremendous athlete who plays with her heart on her sleeve," said Delgado. "She is a fierce competitor and is well respected amongst her coaches and teammates. She played a big role in continuing a winning tradition at her high school and I believe she will bring that same competitive, winning attitude with her to NM State.

Her composure and creativity on the ball is exciting to watch and mixes well with our attacking style of play."
