I'm no expert but looks like an acceptance to me as long as you are sure to show interest and write a great essay. If you are planning on playing soccer or any sport in college I would contact the coach ASAP. They will discuss the team with you and very possibly help you get in... (this goes for all colleges btw) It was something I wish i had done sooner >_<

when you say contact the coach am I going to have to play soccer if I get accepted because I might not want to play college soccer, or is it just so he can get me to play by making me get accepted?

Well its a bit unethical to talk to the coach as if you want to play and then when he helps you get in you dont come out for the team. BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO is talk to him in a way such that you show your interest in possibly playing but aren't too sure if it is what you would want to do. This will help you twofold in that he will probably help you decide whether you want to play or not AND if he likes you he may very well put emphasis on your application even if you don't commit to playing. In any case it will never hurt, only help
