MUSTANGS WRAP UP 2007 CAMPAIGN

The Mount Ida College Women’s Soccer team rounded out their 2007 season with a loss at St. Joseph of Connecticut, 3-1. It was a tough season for the Mustangs going 8-9-0 overall and a 5-8 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) record.

Mount Ida was in the hunt for a playoff spot around the end of the season, but injuries along with two losses in their last two games didn’t give them the chance they wanted to challenge the conference in tournament play.

In retrospect, the Mustangs saw some positives with some emerging freshman, a look forward of things to come for a promising 2008.

Freshman Rebecca Tisbert (Cambridge, VT/Cambridge) closed out her first campaign with seven goals and three assists. She was a force on the front line, helping her team on numerous occasions putting the ball in the net. She will be an integral part of their success next year.

Elise McLear (Swansea, MA/Case) continued to be a leader in the midfield position with six goals and one assist as a junior. She was a master at the direct kick and dominated the middle of the field. She will be going into her senior year with high hopes of a winning season.

Freshman Brieanna Holiday (Dummerston, VT/Dummerston) was another positive for the Mustangs with four goals and one assist in the striker position. She also saw some time on defense because of her speed and aggressive playing style.

Another about-to-be senior, Kathy Tilton (Pembroke, NH/Pembroke), dominated her defensive spot. She was a tough player to get by to put a shot on goal, coach Campbell will look forward to having her back next season.

We wish the best to senior's Jamie Hurd (Gloversville, NY/Gloversville), Andrea Wheeler (Harwinton, CT/Lewis Mills), and Ashley Fisher (Millbury, MA/Millbury) on all the future endeavors leaving Mount Ida College with a degree and wonderful memories of Mustangs Women’s Soccer.
