Key concern: “Replacing the leadership and performances of Emily Haeuser, a 2003 graduate. Keeping everyone healthy throughout the whole season we can really gel as a team. If we can get everything together, they could be a strong group and could run very well as a team.”
Coach’s outlook: “We have doubled the size of our team since last year and it’s a talented group. We are ahead in our training of where we have been the previous three years. We have a number of people capable of performing well and I think we will have a nice of Red Riots running together. I am really looking forward to the season.”
Girls Soccer
Coach: Heather Seavey (1st year)
Fall 2005 Record: 5-9
How did last season end: No post season
Key veterans: Kristina Aceto, Angela Giordano, Sharon Johnson, Dani Garland, Brittany Plummer, Ali Kill, Samm Darling, Kimball McGaffin, Erin Coyne,
Key newcomers: Kate-lyn Lyons, Kathryn Card
Key concern: “We need to develop some of the underclassmen so we have some depth come tournament time.”
Coach’s outlook: “We are looking to compete in every game this year. We have 10 seniors who will see a majority of playing time and have worked hard since last season. The underclassmen will certainly add to our depth. Our goalie has become a solid impact player and is improving more and more each day. We hope to bring everything together come tournament time.”
Boys Soccer
Coach: Mark O’Connor (2nd year)
Fall 2005 Record: 6-8
How did last season end: We just missed the playoffs (-1.53 Heal points)
Key veterans: Endy Carrera, Kyle Hemes,
Will Furbush, Leslie Kocsis, Nick Wright
Key newcomers: Bryce McOsker, Kamil Suja, Ben Conroy, Nick Link
Key concern: “We graduated nine starters including our keeper (13 seniors) and will need to bring the newcomers up to speed as quickly as possible to be competitive.”
Coach’s outlook: “With Endy Carrera in the middle of the field, we can compete with any team in the conference. He is capable of not only being a prolific goal scorer, but also will set up his teammates for the rest of our goals. I have a great group of boys who work extremely hard and play for each other. This season we hope to make the playoffs.”
