Season Outlook and Notes:

2001 will be a time of transition for the Concordia College women's soccer team. It will be the second year at the helm for dual soccer coach Jim Cella and he is looking for the same intensity that his men's teams have played with in the past. The key will be to balance the field between offense and defense. A feat that has been seldom accomplished in the Cobbers' past two season. In the past two year's either the offense was on track and the defense slipped, or the defense played well and the offense couldn't find the net. That balance will be the focal point in Concordia's goal to attain a winning record in the MIAC, something they haven't had since 1986.

Leading the way will be forward Kendra Lee who has shown the knack for putting the ball in the net. In the past two seasons Lee has amassed 86 points. She was the team's leading scorer in 2000 and will be called upon to do more of the scoring with the graduation of fellow forward Jordi Kortan.

The defense will be a solid starting point for the Cobbers in 2001. 3 of the 4 starting backs return. The middle of the defense will be patrolled by Kristen Orme (So., Mendota Heights MN, Cretin-Derham Hall H.S.) who was Honrable Mention All-MIAC in 1999. Goalkeeper Kathy Braun returns for her third year as the starting keeper, while wing back Cheri Green is also back for her second year as a starter.
