Women's Soccer Season Preview

Owings Mills, MD - The Lady Mustang squad is looking forward to a challenging and competitive schedule in their first season in the Capital Athletic Conference. The Mustangs finished the 2006 season as NEAC Conference Champions and reached the final 32 in the NCAA Tournament. New Head Coach, Graeme Millar, from Ayr, Scotland is eager to build on the Mustangs recent success and guide the team into a new era in the CAC. Coach Millar has been coaching in the states for the past 7 years and brings a wealth of experience from his coaching and playing days in Scotland.

Coach Millar welcomes the return of 14 players with 11 seniors making up the majority of the returnees. The 2007 roster also comprises many exciting, talented newcomers that will bring energy and speed to the program. Notable returnees are NEAC 1^st Team All-Conference player Tonia Cristino (Lancaster, PA/Hempfield HS) and NEAC 2^nd Team All-Conference player Rose Phelan (Loch Raven, MD/Loch Raven HS) who will look to form a lethal partnership in attack and lead the team in the scoring charts. Returning captains Jenny Goodwin (Aberdeen, MD/Aberdeen HS) and Bethany Ferralli (Dunkirk, MD/Northern HS) will look to lead by example on and off the field and help the team transition into this new conference. Seniors Katie Orlando (Perry Hall, MD/ Perry Hall HS/YCP) and Lauren Healy (Perry Hall, MD/Catholic HS/Essex CC) will look to bring strength and maturity to the midfield, with Kelly Townley (Perry Hall, MD/John Carroll HS/Essex CC) and Laura Robinson (Westminster, MD/Westminster HS/Howard CC) providing attacking options up front. Seniors, Stephanie Ritgert (Mt. Airy, MD/South Carroll HS), Heather Donohue (Hanover, MD), and Michele Sadowski (Baltimore, MD/Kenwood HS/Essex CC), will bring solid defensive skills to the team.

Expect returning sophomores Casey Brown (Poolesville, MD/Poolesville HS), Kim Moxley (Westminster, MD/Westminster HS) and Meghan Smith (Kent Island, MD/Kent Island HS) to make big impacts on the team this year. Casey Brown will start in goal with Meghan Smith bringing a physical presence to the defense. Moxley will look to add to her scoring tally from last year. Coach Millar is excited by the potential of the incoming freshman and is expecting an immediate impact from players Kaitlyn Amos (Baltimore, MD/Catholic HS), Brittany Bangert (White Marsh, MD/Eastern Tech), Allison Humphries (Bel Air, MD/John Carroll HS), Heather Redding (Street, MD/North Harford HS), and Jen Rosenberger (Glen Arm, MD/Loch Raven HS). Freshman goalkeeper Kelly Gallagher (Baltimore, MD/Eastern Tech HS) will look to support Casey Brown, and other incoming players Michelle Allen (Laurel, MD/Laurel HS), Jess Celmer (Baltimore, MD/MT. Carmel HS), Melissa Lacey (Baltimore, MD/Eastern Tech HS), Meagen Rineer (Lancaster, MD/Lampeter-Strasburg HS) will provide depth to the squad.
