LADY WARRIOR SOCCER PICKED FOURTH IN PRE-SEASON SOCCER POLL

After finishing the 2007 season with an overall record of 7-11-1 and a disappointing conference mark of 5-4, the Sterling College women’s soccer team hopes to rebound in 2008 and find their way to the top of the KCAC in 2008.

With only six starters returning the Lady Warriors know there is a lot of work to be done to be able to finish at the top of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. Kansas Wesleyan was picked to win it all after their 1st trip to the NAIA National Tournament last season.

Sterling is going to have to do it without the help of graduating seniors Jaymi McAnally, Stefanie Randall, Erika Meza and Erica Nielsen from a year ago. Sterling will look upon three junior college transfers, a transfer from Oklahoma City University in Elaine Fontes and three freshman to help with the task.

“I am excited about the season,” said Sterling College Head Soccer Coach Justin Morris. “We have some strong players returning and I also think we have some newcomers that could make a difference. I think the conference will be very challenging and we will have to come together early if we want to make our way back into the top of the KCAC”.

Sterling opens the season on September 5th, 2008, against Mid-America Christian in Sterling.
