2005 Eagle Soccer ------3 Outlook Perform Above Yourself, or PAY
That"s the motivation q11otation for the 2005 Morehead State soccer team. and new bead coach Erin Aub1y bcl ieves the 2004 learn laid the groundwork for major improvemen1s this year. The Eagles return 11 lcttcrwinners and six starters off a 9-9-1 team a year ago, and Aubry fu ll y believes in her seniors ro help the Eagles take another positive step in 2005. "All three of our seniors have seen this program build and improve since they got here," said Aubry. "Sarah Graf and Jenna Adams especially have taken on U1e role of being the anchors of this icam in terms of leadership and experience." With Graf retw11ing to anchor the back line, Adams ready to accept the field leader role, and the retum of leading scorer Rebekah Kendall, the Eagles have set their expectations high in 2005. "Our expectations are to finish as well - if not better- in the Ohio Valley Conference this season," said Aubry, who takes the reigns of a team that conc luded 4-4 in the league in 2004. " We have added a lot of athleticism, and we have an extremely talented freshmen class coming in. We will be able to attack wilb speed much more than they have in the past and have much more of a physical presence this season.'' The Eagles also pride themselves this year on being physically ready for the rigors of the season. "This group really prides itselfon being fi t. We will not lose any games because we are not in shape," she said. Up Front-The front line will be anchored by one of the most naturally skilled athletes in the OVC, Rebekah Kendall. Kendall bmst onto the conference scene last year with a team-high 10 goals and eight assists. She led the league in assists and points per game and ranked third in goals per game. " Rebekah has an instinct for a goal you can't teach a player," said Aubry. "She's creative, and, combined with her athlcl'icism and her work rate, I look for her to have a huge year offensively." Kendall was lethal in front oft he net with a school-record five game-winning goals. Also slated to give the Eagles a boost on the front line is sophomore Jackie Borda. Borda had a solid frosh campaign and Aubry will look for her to continue her offensive improvement in 2005. She netted two goals and dished out three assists last year. Sophomore transfer Shannon Smith, along with junior Liz Rhodes and freshmen Kimmie Beiting, Morgan Melzer and Kelly Busch could also see playing time on the attack. In l'he Middle - The midfield could see a variety of players fill roles as Aubry evaluates the talent and skill levels on the roster. Jenna Adams will be the organizer. "Jenna is ready to be a real leader on the field," said Aubry. In 2004, Adams notched two goals and recorded two assists while being efficienr offense with her .474 shot-on-goal percentage. She also had one game-wining goal. Rhodes and fellow junior Trista Stark will also see a majority of their time in the middle. Stark had a solid season with two assists in 2004. Senior Casey Mowc1y will look to expand her role in her final season as a midfielder. She'll be joined by freshmen Amie Noll, Melzer and Busch. Sophomore Twila Hall, who tallied two goals last year, will also sec an expanded role in the middle. On the Back Linc - The back line ofd efense starts with senior Sarah Graf. Grafwas a major factor in the Eagles• school-record seven shutouts last year. "Sarah is our anchor on the back line. We'll count on her to take control and be a leader with our younger players as well," said Aubry. Also back is sophomore Rachel Kendall. Rebekah's sister. KendaL! provided the Eagles with four assists from her defender's spot last year to rank second on the team. Sophomore Jen Rinehart and Laurie Lacroix both saw action last year, but are ready lo accept expanded roles in their second season on defense. Freshman Carey McCulloch and Hillary Johnson will challenge for action in the back as well . In the Net - With fow--year starter Stefani Workman gone, the Eagles will have a fresh face in net this year in freshman Leslie King. A 5-foot- IO athletic keeper, Aubry has already seen shades of excellence from her heir apparent in net. "Les]i e is tough to gel a ball past. She will be an excellent addition to om team this year," said the coach. With no other true keepeJS on the team,Aubry will most likely look to Beiting, who has experi ence in net, as a backup to King. The Schedule - The Eagles have a challenge before them th is year as the schedule presents opportunities to battle some of the top teams in the country and the region. MSU hosts ni ne home games at Jayne S1aclium this year, including ti lts with Samford and Eastern Illinois, who finished 1-2 in the league standings in 2004. Tiie Eagles wiJl also participate in a pair of tournaments and battle regional powerhouses Vanderbilt and Ohio State. "Our schedule bas teams notorious for being very talented and ranked nationally as well,'' said Aubry. " It's going to require us to have some of those great moments in sporrs and perform above what people think we are capable o f and even what we think we are capable of. I am excited."
