Women's soccer: An offense re-emergesThe women's soccer team put an end to its offensive drought and kept its hopes for an NCAA bid alive with a 4-0 trouncing of Army on Tues., Oct. 20. Facing a squad that lacked the skill and depth of recent opponents, the match-up gave the Elis an opportunity to play their characteristic aggressive style of soccer. "We were able to get into our own rhythm and initiate things, which was a bit of a relief," commented stopper Danica Liberman, TD '99.Liberman said the game was a "stepping stone" for the team in terms of advancing to the NCAAs, but the Bulldogs must win all of their remaining games in order to get an invitation to the tournament. The chemistry and unity of this year's team, however, makes the thought of tallying a perfect record for the rest of the season conceivable. Team captain Annie Kwon, CC '99, said this year's team is much more "enthusiastic and supportive" than in past years, and added that the freshmen have been a major factor in creating a more cohesive Bulldog squad. The freshmen have provided a spark off the bench. As the Bulldogs are a relatively young team, with only three seniors on the roster, they seem set for success in coming seasons. The players are not looking that far ahead yet, however, and are staying focused on their current goals. "It's basically a countdown" Liberman said of the rest of the season. The team takes it's next step towards it's goal on Fri., Oct. 23, at home against Columbia --Sara Sani
