On the Pitch with Lexi Coughlin
7/8/2025 10:40:00 AM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM, N.C.— Duke women's soccer is welcoming seven newcomers to the pitch in 2025 as Kieran Hall takes over the reigns as the head coach of the Blue Devils. The seven-member class is ranked No. 3 nationally by TopDrawerSoccer.
The Blue Devils will spotlight each of the seven newcomers ahead of preseason practice starting in late July.
Our third rookie Lexi Coughlin, who is a 5-6 native of Corona, Calif., is rated as the No. 28 recruit nationally in the 2025 class. A member of U.S. National Teams at the U-15, U-16 and U-17 age groups, Coughlin was an ECNL All-American and Inland Empire Player of the Year as a senior. She helped lead her Santiago High School squad to the CIF Open Division title and the state championship as a senior. Coughlin helped lead the U.S. U-17 squad to the 2024 CONCACAF Championship in Mexico.
