PROGRAM FIRSTS
Hutchinson became the first player in the program’s history named Big South Offensive Player of the Year.

Hutchinson is sixth in the nation in goals per game at .85 while scoring a Big South leading 11 goals. Hutchinson has scored six goals against Big South competition. For his stellar play this season he was the TopDrawerSoccer.com’s National Player of the Week on September 17 and a two-time Big South Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 16 and Oct. 7). Last season, Hutchinson garnered the Big South Newcomer of the Year award while being a First Team All-League selection.
CARSON GRIFFITH
Griffith anchors the Blue Hose midfield. He has scored four goals while dishing out three assists. In his career, Griffith is a two-time First Team All-Big South selection (2023, 2024), a Second Team All-League honoree (2022), a member of the 2022 Big South All-Tournament team, and a two-time Big South All-Academic team recipient (2023, 2024).
