Season Preview The Georgia State Panthers hope 2009 marks their fi rst-ever Colonial Athletic Association championship berth, continuing the positive strides they have taken over the past two seasons. In 2007, the Panthers posted their fi rst winning record since joining the CAA, fi nishing the year 9-8-1 (4-6-1 in conference). The following season, Georgia State exploded out of the gate with a season-opening six-game win streak en route to an 11-9 (4-7 in conference) fi nish. This season, Georgia State must once again improve as they attempt to move into the national spotlight. Georgia State’s road to the CAA championship opens with six consecutive games away from Panthersville. The Panthers open the season on the road at 2008 NCAA tournament team Morehead State (Aug. 22) before taking on North Florida and Jacksonville in a tournament hosted by UNF on Aug. 28 and 30. Next, Georgia State will travel to the Murray State Hampton Inn Classic (Sept. 4-6) where they will meet NCAA tournament team Alabama A&M before getting chance to test their mettle against SEC competition when they visit Georgia (Sept. 11). The Panthers open their home schedule on Sunday, Sept. 13 against Georgia Southern. On Sept. 18, Georgia State will host the school’s fi rst-ever night game as South Alabama visits Panthersville. “Out of conference we have a nice fl avoring of teams from the top conferences in the southern United States,” said Georgia State head coach Domenic Martelli. “We will get the experience we need, in these early season games, against top competition to get us prepared for the very diffi cult CAA.” Georgia State will wrap up their non-conference schedule by travelling to Macon, Ga., to battle defending Atlantic Sun regular season champion Mercer on Sunday, Sept. 20. “During our non-conference schedule, we’re on the road quite a bit,” said Martelli. “These are places and games that we can hopefully use as a foundation to become more united as a team and a program with each individual.” Georgia State will open conference play in the diffi cult Colonial Athletic Association on a Thursday afternoon against Old Dominion before embarking on a three-game road trip against William & Mary, VCU, and James Madison. 2009 Panthers Soccer “It’s very important for us to get some points out of those games before we return home, playing three of the top four CAA teams from last year,” said Martelli. “Winning on the road isn’t easy in this conference, but it’s important in order to make the tournament.” During CAA play, the Panthers will face off against three NCAA tournament teams (James Madison, William & Mary, and Northeastern) who each advanced past the fi rst round in 2008, as well as six teams that fi nished the season ranked regionally by Soccer Buzz (JMU, William & Mary, ODU, Northeastern, Hofstra, and UNCW). James Madison, the defending CAA champion, ended the year ranked No. 18 nationally. The Panthers will return Oct. 9 to begin a four-game homestand over the next two weeks against George Mason, Towson, Northeastern, and Hofstra. The fi nal stretch of Georgia State’s season will be a three-game road trip against Delaware, Drexel, and UNC Wilmington before the CAA conference tournament commences on Nov. 3. “The last two years we’ve played our way into contention up until the last weekend of the season,” said Martelli. “We hope to be able to do that again this year.” To navigate this diffi cult road to the postseason, Georgia State will rely on the leadership of three seniors: Kari Quinn, Caitlin Smith, and Virginia Wood. After losing a senior class of seven, Martelli feels fortunate to have another solid group of veterans to carry the squad through adversity. Other returning starters include junior forward Apryl Goodwin, junior goalkeeper Heidi Blankenship, and sophomore defenders Bri Cagle and Lani Huntley. “Last year we relied on a group of seven seniors. This year, we’ll rely on a larger, collective group,” said Martelli. “I’m excited to see who’s going to step in and pick up that challenge.” FORWARDS At forward, Georgia State will look for continued progress from junior Apryl Goodwin, who fi nished 2008 with the secondhighest goal total on the team. Goodwin’s fi ve goal tally trailed 3
