ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich.- On Monday, July 23, Rochester College Head Baseball Coach Jordan Ackerman announced the signing of Lawrance Love, Chad Soja, and Austin Suiter.
Love joins the Warriors after a stellar career at Fowlerville High School under head coach Karl Kling. After finishing the season with a .370 batting average and leading his team to a District Championship, Love was honored with First Team All CAAC and First Team All-Area honors up from his junior year when he was an Honorable Mention recipient for both honors.
Love also enjoyed much success on the football team earning First Team All-CAAC and Second Team All-Area honors.
Coach Ackerman on Love:
"Lawrance is an extremely talented athlete. I feel strong about him being a versatile player and stepping into several different roles for us as a freshman. He has been part of a successful high school program and he knows what it takes to win. His high school coach (Karl Kling) is a very knowledgeable coach and I know he will be ready for the college level."

Chad Soja also comes to the Warriors from Fowlerville High School. The speedy outfielder enjoyed a successful senior campaign batting .350, which helped him earn Honorable Mention All-CAAC honors. On the football field, Soja notched First Team All-CAAC honors in both his junior and senior seasons from the receiver position.
Coach Ackerman on Soja:
"Chad is a great addition to our outfield. He has a great arm and had several assists in high school. I am confident that Chad will come in and fight his way to the top. He has a bulldog attitude and will be at our returner's heels if he does not surpass them."
