GUIDE 2008 WEST VIRGINIA ILLUSION 3 W-LEAGUE INAUGURAL SEASON 2008 WEST VIRGINIA ILLUSION THE SKY’S THE LIMIT 2008 SEASON OUTLOOK Goalkeepers Head coach Joe Dorini has two fine options between the pipes this summer. Megan Jessee and Andrea Kaminski have both been starters in the BIG EAST Conference. Jessee made 52 appearances in goal for the University of Connecticut Huskies between 2002 and 2005; Kaminski has been the starter for the University of Cincinnati the past two seasons. “I think Megan will be good as soon as she gets a little more fit,” said Dorini. “We will have a great shot-stopper and top-level goal- keeper to stifle the other team's attacks.” “With Megan and Andrea coming in, I'd say we have one of the higher-level goalkeeping positions in the league right now.” Defenders “We have a very strong backbone, and just from the age of some of the older players, we have more maturity. I think we can lead, and then we can work on the tactical part more than anything else,” said Dorini of his defense. If the Illusion defense is the backbone of the team, Christen “Suggie” Seaman is the player that gives it structure. Seaman was a key member of Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s defense from 1999 to 2002 and will also serve as an assistant coach to Dorini. “Suggie is a top quality defender and will solidify the back line. She is great in the air and has also good leadership qualities. I look for her to be the stabilizer of the team,” Dorini said. Kelsey Fowler, who just completed her junior year at West Virginia University, is making the move from midfielder to defender this year and likely will partner Seaman in the center. “Kelsey will see a lot of time as part of our disabling back line defense. She is a player that will run all day and will not give up,” said Dorini. Canadian Nicole Mailloux is also a likely starter. Mailloux, another WVU product, is comfortable in the center of defense as well as on the wing. “She brings international experience, having played for Canada's under-20 national team. She will also make an immediate impact,” said Dorini. Natalie Cocchi, who completed her WVU career this fall, will also bring size (5-foot-11) and experience (a school record 87 appear- ances) to the middle of the Illusion rearguard. “Natalie is a great late addition to the team, a very surprising addition. I am very happy that she decided to stick around the area to be part of the team. She has a lot of obligations this summer and will be with us as much as possible. She's definitely going to be a starter when she's here...great size, great mental ability to bring to the game.” Jamie Morrison, Jennifer Ball, Haley Thaxton, and Bailey Bryant are also in the running for time. Greer Barnes, predominately a mid- fielder, could also play on the left side. “Defensively, we don't really have to teach anything new. We're going to keep the system that's been going through WVU. With pretty much 95% of our back line being from WVU, I think that's our advantage more than anything else. These players know each other and are used to working under the same system,” Dorini said. 2008 WEST VIRGINIA ILLUSION 4 W-LEAGUE INAUGURAL SEASON 2008 WEST VIRGINIA ILLUSION THE SKY’S THE LIMIT 2008 SEASON OUTLOOK Midfielders “Our midfield is very deep and very talented,” said head coach Joe Dorini. “Offensively and defensively, this group should be a big key to our success.” Veteran Marisa Kanela will be a fixture on the left flank. Kanela, originally from Wantagh, N.Y., is sixth all-time at West Virginia in scoring, finishing her career in 2005 with 28 goals and 20 assists in 85 appearances. “She can change a game with any touch on the ball.
