COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri soccer head coach Stefanie Golan announced the addition of 11 newcomers ahead of the 2022 season. After finishing with a 7-10 record in Golan's first season at the helm, the Tigers will add 10 freshmen and one transfer to the roster.

The 11 signees hail from across the country with eight different states represented. Missouri, Texas, and Illinois represent the three states with two signees.

HANNAH BOUGHTON​

Colleyville, Texas | Dallas Texans | Colleyville Covenant Christian Academy

Midfielder | 5-5 | No. 191 Nationally | No. 63 Midfielder

A highly ranked midfielder from the Lone Star State, Boughton will head north to Missouri to play in the Southeastern Conference. Despite not playing high school soccer until her junior season, she has made quite an impact in a short time. Ranked as the No. 191 player in the nation and the No. 63 midfielder according to Top Drawer Soccer's IMG Academy National Rankings, Boughton brings tremendous talent to Mizzou and will look to make an early impact.

The Texan scored 65 goals in only two seasons for the Cougars. She earned an invitation to the U.S. Youth National Team ID Camp in Dallas. Her play with the Dallas Texans of the ECNL led to Boughton being named all-conference. She was listed as a Top Drawer Soccer Weekly Standout 11 times.

Boughton chose Mizzou over Arkansas and SMU. Her father, Michael, played professional baseball with the Texas Rangers organization.

Golan on Boughton: "Hannah is a dynamic attacking midfielder who is mobile, good on the ball, and creates opportunities for her team. She is super competitive, has a high work rate to go with it, and she is a young woman of high character who is going to move us closer to the culture we need to take a step forward. We look forward to watching her represent the Black & Gold this fall!"

BELLA CARRILLO​

Frisco, Texas | FC Dallas | Centennial HS

Forward | 5-5

A talented goal scorer from the Metroplex, Carillo is another in a long line of Texans joining the Mizzou Soccer program. With FC Dallas and Centennial High School, she put together an impressive career, earning all-district honors each year of her high school career. Carrillo was a part of an FC Dallas team that won the State Cup on two occasions and finished in the ECNL Quarterfinals.

Carillo picked the Tigers over Elon and UAB.

Carrillo: I had always dreamt of playing Division 1 college soccer. When it reached the point where I started researching and talking with schools, Mizzou was the one that really caught my eye. The coaches reached out, and the more we talked the more I realized that this school had everything I had wanted academically and athletically for my college experience. On my visit, I just fell in love with the campus … The entire coaching staff talked about their plans for the future of the program, and I immediately knew that it was something I wanted to be a part of. Lastly, Mizzou was a place that made me and my family feel like it was my home away from home.

Golan on Carrillo: "Bella adds a dynamic that we need to our attacking group. Her work ethic & intensity is never questioned on either side of the ball, she is good in a pressing system defensively and she is a goal scorer on the attacking side of the ball. Her ceiling is extremely high, and we are excited to help her reach her potential as a Tiger."

MIA COLLINS​

Sacramento, Calif. | San Juan SC | St. Francis Catholic HS

Goalkeeper | 5-7

Returning to the Show Me State, Collins has extensive ties to the Kansas City-area. The goalkeeper joins the Tigers from the west coast. Collins will look to make an impact for the Tigers in goal.

She is actively involved with the Black Student Union as a council member and the Racial Justice League. Collins tutors English and Math to underprivileged children. She selected Mizzou over the University of Idaho.

Golan on Collins: "Mia's enthusiasm and attention to detail fits the Mizzou culture that we are trying to build, and she is determined to make an impact. She is definitely going to raise the overall environment for the GK corps, and we are so excited to get her to Mizzou."

KEEGAN GOOD​

Parkville, Mo. | KC Legends SC | Park Hill South HS

Midfielder | 5-4

Making the short trip east down I-70, Good is joining the Tigers from the Kansas City area. A hard-working and athletic midfielder with a prowess for scoring goals, Good will look to make an impact on and off the field for Mizzou.

In 2021, she led her Park Hill South team to conference, district, and sectional appearances while scoring 20 goals, a team high. Good tied the Panthers' single-game goals record, putting four in the back of the net in a single match. She served as her team's captain for over seven consecutive seasons with the KC Legends.

Golan on Good: "Keegan came to one of our ID camps and really impressed us with her athleticism and willingness to take risks in the final third. She does all of the gritty work that the team needs and does it all with a smile on her face. Keegan will represent Mizzou soccer on & off the field with tremendous character and we know she will grow in our environment."

RACHEL KUTELLA​

Elk Grove Village, Ill. | Eclipse Select | James B. Conant HS | Arkansas State

Defender | 5-10

The Tigers will add Arkansas State transfer Rachel Kutella to the 2022 roster. The junior joins the Tigers after appearing in 28 matches with the Red Wolves and making 26 starts on the back line.

As a regular starter, Kutella helped Arkansas State to back-to-back Sun Belt regular season titles. She scored two goals and added one assist over her two seasons in Jonesboro while helping the Red Wolves to 14 shutouts over her 28 appearances.

Kutella: "I wanted to be challenged in an environment where people want to see me succeed. As soon as I stepped on campus, I could tell that they had the resources to help me do that. After talking to the coaching staff and hearing their vision on what Mizzou soccer will accomplish in upcoming years, I wanted to be a part of helping the team get to that place."

Golan on Kutella: "We are thrilled to add Rachel to our team. We were looking to add depth to our backline and someone who is hungry to get better and compete on a daily basis, and Rachel is a great fit!"
