2018 Women's Soccer Preview

The Eagles are preparing for the 2018 season with numerous starters and experience returning.

The Eagles return nearly every starter on the pitch. Five of those returners were named to the All-Conference Team last season. Senior Georgia Warren is the top offensive player returning after scoring five goals and recording four assists last season. Goalkeeper Kiara Henry is back after posting a 1.99 goals against average. Under head coach Natalie Dreyer, the women's program went 7-9-1 overall and 3-8-1 in league play in 2017. Hungry for another post-season appearance, Dreyer will use the team's depth (37 players) to her advantage.

Coach Dreyer Quotes:

"I'm super proud of the effort so far. This is the most competition I've seen in training since I've been here. We have a strong core of seniors. These girls want to get back to the conference tournament. Our goal is to reach the tournament. We have added a lot of speed in our attack. That is one of the strengths. We have more depth, too. There were a lot of great things in our exhibition matches."
