The Unive rsity of Sa n Diego women's soccer team en– ters the 2008 season on the heels of the most successful season in program history. Under the direction of sixth-year head coach Ada Greenwood,the Toreros completed a histor– ic 2007 campaign in which the team posted a program-best 15-3-3 overall record, a program-best No. 9 national ranking and tied a program-best second place finish in the presti– gious West Coast Conference. Under the guidance of Greenwood and his coaching staff, San Diego set single-season program records for lon– gest unbeaten streak with 11 , best overall winning percent– age (.786), as well as senior forward Amy Epsten tying the single-season record for goals scored (14) and breaking the career goals scored record with 30. This season the Toreros will use a mixture of experienced veterans and newcomers in their quest to win the program's first WCC championship, return to the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive year and win a national champion– ship. "The goal is always to be the team that wins that last game at the of the season for a national championship. It's a very tough goal, but I feel we have the personnel to achieve this goal," stated Greenwood. "We also want to win our first conference championship." Returning to the front line for the Toreros is first-team AII-WCC honoree Amy Epsten. Last season, Epsten was a huge offensive force for the Toreros as she tallied 14 goals and added in one assist for 29 points. With the 14 goals, Ep– sten moved her name into the top spot on the career-goals list with 30. Also returning to the front line is senior Jen Mello. In her first season with the Toreros, after transferring over from San Diego State, Mello tallied three goals and added in one assist for seven points, while rotating between the forward and midfield positions. Two new faces to the team who could see time on the field up front w ill be Stephanie Ochs and Maggie Maguire. Both of these ladies are highly touted freshman who have a lot to bring to the table. Ochs is a 5-9 freshman from San Diego's Patrick Henry High School, where she helped lead her team to four con– secutive league championships, was a first-team AII-CIF se– lection as a senior and was a member of the Surf Club Soccer team and helped lead her team to the Surf Cup Champion– ship. Maguire is a 5-6 freshman from Anchorage, Alaska where she was a four-time first-team All-Cook Inlet Confer– ence honoree as a forward and a four-time offensive MVP of the CIC, while averaging 20 goals per year in her four-year career. She was also a member of the eight-time state cham– pion Alaska Rush club team and was a Region IV ODP team member and was a top Soccerbuzz recruit. "We have Amy returning, the program's leading goal scorer, she will get marked tightly, but I believe she will con– tinue to get herself into good situations," said Greenwood. "However, I feel like other players will need to step up. Jen Mello, Stephanie Ochs and Maggie Maguire are all capable of scoring a lot of goals for the team this season." Other returners who could find their way up front as well are junior's Christine Mock, Hallie Huston and senior Allison Wolters. Mock has primarily spent her time in aTorero uniform as a mainstay in the center midfield, but during this pa st spring, Greenwood has used Mock up front and wide in the mid– field as well, and with that she brings strong versatility to the team. As a junior, Mock scored one goal and had one assist

Huston,like Mock,has also been a mainstay in the Torero midfield, she can play wide in the midfield and up front. This past season, Huston tallied three assists for three points. Wolters suffered a season ending injury early in the sea– son in 2007, and has made a full recovery. USD is hoping she will return to top form for the season and be able to add her offensive and defensive versitility for the Toreros. The final person who could see time up front is fresh– man Allison Thompson, who comes to USD after a stand– out career at El Toro High school. She was a first-team All -Sea View League selection and a four-year letter winner in soc– cer. Moving to the midfield, the deepest position on the 2008 roster, the coaches can see Mock, Huston, Mello, Magu– ire, Ochs,and Wolters as players who could play up front or in the midfield. Other players in the midfield include senior's Jackie Garcia, Ashley Kirk, junior's Natalie Vinti and Karen Rob– erts, sophomore's Katie Gordon, Akayla Fisher and Jackie Zinke, redshirt freshmen Katie Bavasi, Megan Detrick and Melissa Maruca along with newcomers Elissa Magracia, Natalie Garcia, Mimi Roukoz and Lexi Deol. Jackie Garcia is the second senior in the midfield for the Toreros and she will be a huge help to the Toreros midfield. She brings strong creative ability to the team and who is a member of the Mexican National Team . This past season, Garcia scored her first collegiate goal, the game-winner over Gonzaga in overtime, and she helped the defense bolster a 0.69GAA. Kirk returns for her fourth year in aTorero uniform after a break-out type season in 2007. Kirk played in 20 matches w ith 19 starts as a mainstay in the midfield for the Toreros and she recorded one assist for one point. Vinti is an AII-WCC honorable mention honoree from a year ago and is poised to continue her outstanding play in the back. Vinti was also a member of the Mexican National

y...,~IM·for three points.

Anchoring down the defense for the Toreros w ill be the return on second-team AII-WCC honoree, senior . oalkeeper Brittany Cameron. Cameron had the best season of her ca– reer in 2007, as she posted a minuscule 0.71 goals-against-av– erage and had a career-high nine shutouts en route to help– ing guide USD to 11 consecutive unbeaten matches. Backing-up Cameron in goal are two new faces to the To– reros in freshmen Courtney Parsons and Alex Dinan. Parsons comes to USD after a stand-out career at Ursu– line High School, where she was named first-team All-Empire league as a senior, was a three-time scholar athlete, helped lead her team to a North Coast Section Championship as a sophomore and a junior and in 2006 she helped lead Ursuline to a No. 1 National Ranking. She has also won several state titles for her Santa Rosa club team. Parsons was also a top Soccerbuzz recruit. Dinan comes to USD from Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa, Calif., where she helped lead her team to four con-~ secutive North Coast Section semifinals, was named second- team All-North Bay League, was a four-time Academic Honor Athlete and a four-time California Scholarship Federation ~ The rest of the backfield is again a deep position for the Toreros. USD will look to Jackie Garcia, Addie Cartan, Erika Wesley, Heather Burke, Kirk, Vinti, Bavasi, Dani Russell, and Cartan is retuning to the Toreros after a strong freshman campaign. Cartan played in 19 of USD's 21 matches a year ago and had 10 starts, while helping the team post a 0.69 GAA. Wesley found her way into the starting line-up about mid way through the season in 2007 and was a mainstay ever since. Last year, she helped lead USD's defense to a 0.69 GAA, while also adding in two assists for two points. Burke makes a return for her sophomore campaign after appearing in eight matches as a defender in 2007. Russell, a 5-9 freshman from Long Beach, Calif., comes to USD after a stand-out career at Wilson High School. She helped lead her team for four consecutive Moore League championships. As a senior she helped lead her team to the NSCAA/ Rivals.com National Championship, and a CIF-SS Championship, while tallying 11 goals and 11 assists. She was also a member of the Region IV team. Russell was also a top Soccerbuzz recruit. Another new face to the Toreros will be University of Colorado transfer Brooke Hickerson. Hickerson took a medi– cal redshirt this past season for the Buffalo's and is fully healed and ready to play. She prepped at Mulling High School where she helped lead her team to the 2007 SA State Championship her senior year after taking the Centennial League her junior season and losing in the state championship game in 2006. This past summer, Hickerson helped Colorado Rush w in the club national championship. "I just feel like if we work right together, have a good team attitude and show strong character as a team they can do something special thi s season," said Greenwood. 2008 wee Preseason Coaches Poll 1.
