Pride Women's Soccer Placed
Second in USA South and Defeated NCAA Sweet 16 Dickinson
The Greensboro College women's soccer
team finished second in the USA South Conference with a 4-1-1 record. Overall,
The Pride was 7-10-1. A highlight was a win over NCAA Sweet 16 finalist
Dickinson.
GC earned the second seed in the
conference tournament. Rival Methodist College, however, upset The Pride
1-0 and ended Greensboro's season.
The Pride garnered six USA South
all-conference honors. Freshman forward Ashton Oliver earned conference
rookie of the year and first team recognition. She led The Pride in scoring
with 11 goals and one assist.
Named to the conference’s second
team were sophomore forward Ashley Cabral; senior defender Megan
Nutt; and senior goalkeeper Keri Wells. Nutt was also picked
to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District first team. Earning
honorable mention recognition was junior defender Meredith Carroll.
One of the team's strengths was
the defense. Helped by the defenders in front of her, Wells earned five
shutouts on the year.
With just Nutt and Wells lost to
graduation, new leader Franco Bari has 19 letter-winners expected
to return for The Pride in the 2006 season. He replaced Tracy Ducar,
who resigned to devote more time to her goalkeeper school.
