Pre-Game: In the Locker Room with the Warriors

Excited for their first game of the season, the Warriors prepared for the match together in the locker room. They had their game faces on and were ready to play!

Opening Tournament Weekend

The warriors had their opening game against Assumption College on Friday evening under the stadium lights. The team battled for the full 90 minutes and two 10 minute overtimes. Breanne Ingargiola had the tying goal and the match concluded 1-1.

The team looked ahead to Sunday and practiced in the early afternoon on Saturday. Sunday morning came, and the Warriors defeated Concord University 2-0. Devon Miniscalco and Marissa Spitler each scored a goal for the victory.

The Freshmen Experience: A Whole New World

The freshmen class share their experiences of preseason and the first week of classes. They looked towards their upperclassmen for guidance when balancing studies and sport. As a group, the young players look forward to the year to fully begin.

As freshman we were very nervous about coming to our first college pre-season. However, the team and coaches were very welcoming, and we felt like we were apart of the team right away. Though the practices were tough at times, it was from the help of the upperclassmen that we were able to make it through each day. Pre-season was a great experience for us because we really bonded with the girls and became a family.

As pre-season was coming to an end we were all very anxious about our first week of classes. We got tours around campus from the upperclassman so we would know where we were going on that early Monday morning. Classes ended up not being that bad, so were all very relieved and excited for the soccer season to start and to have a great first year at ESU!

Classes Begin

After the first day of classes, some of the players took time to cheer on their fellow Warriors at the men's soccer scrimmage.

Morning Meeting and Team Goals

Captains' Preseason Thoughts

Senior captains Kailyn Buckley and Lindsay Foder share their thoughts on the upcoming season.

"As seniors and captains, we are very excited to go into our last season. As we begin preseason, it is evident that the girls have a good work ethic and high level of dedication that we hope will remain throughout the season. As we progress through the season, we hope to become closer and grow as a team. Our goal is to use team functions off the field to contribute to our compatibility."

"We have a young but talented team with lots of potential. There is a large number of returners who know the routine and are ready to work. The incoming players have so far showed that they understand the level of commitment that is needed to play at this level. Combining the experienced returners with the skilled newcomers, we should have a successful team. Overall, we think we have a rewarding season ahead of us."

PRESEASON 2010 BEGINS!
