Coaches Comments:
"Jessica is a tremendous talent
and it is hard to believe that she was still out there for us to sign. Her
ball skills combined with her soccer intellect and physical athleticism are hard
to match. She will be a key to our offensive success as she combines with
our other talented forwards and attacking midfielders up top."

Coaches Comments:
"Brie returns for her sophomore
season in a different capacity. She did an outstanding job for us last
year as an outside midfielder. Towards the end of the season, Brie really
started to find her scoring groove and performed so well as a forward (finishing
as our second leading scorer) that she will take a forward position this year.
Her quickness and long strides allow her to get into space behind the defense
and create dangerous scoring opportunities. Always with a smile on her face, she
is a positive influence on the team as well."

Coaches Comments:
"Malerie is perhaps the most
versatile player on the roster, able to be a significant factor in any field
position. She will spend most of her time playing midfield, but should the
situation arise she could easily and effectively fill in on defense or be
dangerous up top. She is also very good in the air and should be able to
help us with our air tackling and dueling, a critical factor in the women's
game."

broke her school's record for single season assists her junior year, then broke
it again her senior year, finishing as the record holder for single season and
career assists. With our talented forwards and the ball at her foot we will be
dangerous offensively."

She also played on a prominent and successful high school and club program.

Notes:
All-District, All-Conference in high school.
Holds her high school record for career shut-outs, despite
missing most of her senior season with an injury.
Coaches Comments:
"Neala is a great goalkeeper who
saw plenty of action in high school. Despite this, she managed to compile a huge
number of shut-outs, setting school records and earning her high praise from
competing coaches. Unfortunately, a serious injury sustained early in her
final high school season kept her out of competition, but she has rehabbed and
is coming on strong to start her college career."

"Tiffany really impressed at
try-outs last fall and was invited onto the team at that time.
Unfortunately, she sustained a serious knee injury early in her spring high
school season which kept her out of competition. She is working hard to
rehab that injury and progressing well. She will gain valuable experience
training with the team and learning about soccer at this level, despite not
being able to compete this season."
