Lady Bucs Play To 2-2 Double-Overtime
Tie With Florida Southern
Box Score
Carrolton, GA – The Christian Brothers
University Lady Buccaneer soccer team has been picked to
finish fifth by the coaches of the Gulf South Conference
in the Pre-Season GSC Women's Soccer Poll.
Seniors Ella Thorsteinsdottir and Ciara
McGuiness, along
with sophomore Embla
Grettarsdottir were named to the Pre-Season
All-GSC Team.
Despite having the entire 2004 season cancelled after Hurricane
Ivan, West Florida was picked as the pre-season favorite
to end the Lady Bucs' reign of five-straight GSC Titles.
Lincoln Memorial, Harding, West Georgia, CBU, Central Arkansas,
Montevallo,
Alabama-Huntsville,
North
Alabama,
Ouachita Baptist
and Delta State round out the poll. West Georgia will be
in its first year of competition in the GSC.
McGuiness is a returning Second-Team All-GSC performer.
She was second on the team in scoring last year with eight
goals and five assists for 21 points. Thorsteinsdottir was
a First-Team All-GSC selection last season anchoring a defense
that recorded five shutouts last season. Grettarsdottir earned
First-Team All-GSC honors last year as a freshman after scoring
three goals and adding two assists in 14 matches for the
Lady Bucs. She was named to the All-Tournament Team at the
GSC Tournament.
"We're light in numbers this year, however,
the core of last year's championship team returns," said
head
coach Kieron Heblich. "I think we have to re-establish an
identity
for
the program.
This
season
will
be a
challenge for the players and I'm interested to see how they
respond to it."
