The forward joins the Musketeers from Cowley College
CINCINNATI - Xavier head men's soccer coach John Higgins announced the signing of Shogo Haraikawa on Thursday afternoon.
"I'm really excited to add our final attacking player of the class," said Higgins. "Shogo has the ability to play in the 9, 10, and 8 and will be an asset to us on both sides of the ball. He is a relentless worker and combines that with really crafty 1v1 attacking play. He has been well coached at Cowley and will be ready for the BIG EAST in the fall."
