Season Preview: Moving Forward
After coming off a character building 0-18 season last year and playing the majority of the season with only seven players, Head Coach Jennifer Fickett enters her second season with some new faces and a fresh perspective.
“This season is all about a new attitude and changing our culture,” said Coach Fickett. “Every day we talk about what it means to be a part of this program: Commitment to Team, Relentless Work Ethic, Personal Responsibility, Mental Toughness and Contagious Passion on and off the field.”
The Crimson Wave graduated only one senior but only have three sophomore players returning to the lineup. Linda Munoz, who brings a strong work ethic and great attitude to the team, will be making the transition from defender to goalkeeper this season. Amanda Churilla is back to anchor the defense and Angela Malinowski brings speed and tenacity up top.
Three junior transfers from South Suburban Community College, Gabriela Rodriquez, Evelyn Morales and Kari Stanley, bring experience and leadership to the team. Rodriquez and Morales will be instrumental in adding strength to the midfield, while Stanley looks to add the offensive punch lacking from last season.
This year’s lineup also includes freshmen Lesly Cuadra, Alejandra Cuadra and Maritza Cornejo from East Chicago Central, Miriam Ojeda from Hammond Clark, Brenda Ramirez from Benito Juarez, Brittany Moczynski from Hammond Morton and Jessica Garcia from Whiting.
“Our freshmen will need to contribute just as much as our returning and transfer players” comments Coach Fickett. “We have more talent than we did last season and with our numbers up, we are looking to gain respect in the prestigious CCAC [Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference].”
Also new this year is Assistant Coach Rubin Nieto, a former St. Joseph’s College goalkeeper, whose most recent coaching stint was at Cochise College in Arizona. Nieto will oversee goalkeeper training as well as assist with recruiting.
“I’m excited to be here,” said Coach Nieto. “We have a great group of players out this year. I’m looking forward to helping take the talent we have and improve from where the team was last year.”
“We’re a very young program looking to turn the corner,” states Coach Fickett, “and we’re hoping to surprise a few teams along the way.”
The team travels to Omaha, Neb. to open their season with two matches against College of St. Mary on August 28 and Dana on August 29.
Ladies Take Loss in Exhibition
8/20/09 – The Crimson Wave women’s soccer team took a loss to Iowa Wesleyan College today 6-0 in an exhibition match up. The Crimson Wave women will open up their season on August 28th at 4:00 pm on the road against the College of St. Mary’s.
