Texas A&M strengthens back line with signing of Mia Scranton from Cal Baptist

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M soccer team bolstered its back line with the addition of former California Baptist defender Mia Scranton, head coach G Guerrieri announced.
Scranton helped the Lancers post a 0.84 goals against average and 15 shutouts the last two seasons while playing under the tutelage of current Aggie assistant coach Tim Strader. During that time Cal Baptist posted a 21-9-9 (.654) record and earned a trip to the 2024 NCAA Tournament after claiming a Western Athletic Conference Tournament title.
“We think Mia is the most talented defender coming out of the transfer portal this spring,” Guerrieri said. “She reads the game well, is a tough 1v1 defender, and is very comfortable with the ball at her feet as a creative threat going forward for us in attack.”
Scranton arrives in Aggieland with two years of eligibility. With the Lancers, she appeared in 32 matches. She racked up four career assists while playing primarily on the back line.
In her rookie campaign, Scranton played in 13 matches all off the bench, notching one assist. CBU registered shutouts in five of her 13 appearances.
Last season, the Temecula, California, native played in 19 matches. The Lancers posted shutouts in seven of her 19 matches, registering a 0.99 goals-against average.
“We just became a much more difficult team to play against with Mia on our team,” Guerrieri said. “Her experience in the college game with Tim Strader coaching her means she can comfortably step right in and understand the concepts we believe in.”
Also a standout in the classroom, Scranton earned a spot on the Fall Academic All-WAC list in 2024.
Scranton prepped at Chaparral High School and played with City Soccer Club.
