When the 2009 Girl's soccer season started the sky was the limit for this the New Albany girl's soccer program. Coming off an impressive campaign under first year head coach Julie Deuser the Lady Dogs hoped to improve on their 15-4 season and capture that elusive Sectional title.
We have a great core of returning seniors: L Hack, M Nash, K Robinett and W Smith with Robinett the 6th leading scorer in the state during 2008 and currently leading the state in scoring.
Returning juniors: K Cole, K Graeter, D Hutchinson, S Riggs and A Snyder.
Along with our 9 returning upper classmen we have a talented group of sophomores that got plenty of playing time as freshmen and are ready to go. Sophomores are: T Briscoe (keeper, currently ranked 7th in the state), K Cole, M Hutchison, M Klueppleberg, T Little and Rachel Novack.
To bloster the lineup we've also added three talented freshman to the mix and they have been getting valuable playing time early in the season. Freshman are: P Bauer, K Blessinger (keeper) and T Marcum.
We have big expectations and our two major goals are to win the Hoosier Hills Conference title and to dethrone three time defending sectional champion Floyd Central. If we reach both of our goals anything can happen once you get to the one-game regional which was one by power Columbus North last year.
We aren't suprising anyone this year. We bring out talent and desire to the field and take on all comers. Through the first 8 games this season we are 7-0-1 and looking forward to playing our rival Floyd Central this Thursday and then Columbus East on Saturday. This week will be a true test of our teams ability to focus on the task at hand and not think ahead.
All we can say is BEWARE OF THE DOGS!
