Georgia State University Season Preview only senior Kay Harbrueger. After starting 18 of 20 games last season, Goodwin will be expected to lead the Panther offense for the majority of the season. Junior Stephanie Cuccia and sophomore Emily Dover will also be counted on at forward in 2009. Cuccia and Dover played in 34 games combined during the 2008 campaign, but Cuccia registered the only start between the two. In 16 of 20 games, Cuccia notched three goals and one assist. Dover deposited two goals during her fi rst season to lead a talented freshman class. Newcomers at forward include Sarah Dashiell, a junior transfer from Young Harris, and freshman Haley Holderfi eld. Dashiell is coming off of an NJCAA All-American season in 2008 and backto-back NJCAA All-Region mentions. MIDFIELDERS A host of versatile midfi elders populate the roster for the Panthers in 2009, many of which will be asked to take on different roles during the season. Senior Caitlin Smith will look for an expanded role after playing in 15 of 20 games in 2008. Smith found her playing time in a crowded midfi eld, dominated by senior talent, last season. Also returning to the midfi eld are junior Jessica Black, and sophomores Sarah Lucisano, Lindsay Mortellaro, and Erinique Owens. Owens and Mortellaro each scored one goal and registered one assist last season. Black earned playing time in 14 of 20 matches last season. Owens played in all 20 games last season, earning two starts, after opening the season with her fi rst career goal against Tennessee Tech. Mortellaro, who also plays the forward position, managed one start during her freshman year, and scored her fi rst career goal in an important win over conference rival William & Mary. Newcomers to the midfi eld include Sarah Bennett, Carly Lafferty, Alabama-transfer Taylor Parks, and junior Kaila Muecke, returning to the Panthers after taking a break from soccer in 2008. Muecke played in 15 games, starting four, during the 2007 season. Parks transfers to Georgia State as a sophomore who earned 4 playing time in the highly competitive Southeastern conference a year ago. Freshmen Carly Lafferty and Sarah Bennett come from a pair of prestigious high school programs and hope to earn their way onto the pitch in 2009. Lafferty comes from St. Pius X, the NSCAA’s nationally top-ranked program from 2008. Bennett played her high school soccer at Cherry Creek in Colorado, state runners-up in 2007 and state semi-fi nalists in 2008. DEFENDERS Seniors Kari Quinn and Virginia Wood will be expected to lead the Georgia State defense, which features a number of talented youngsters. Wood started in all 20 matches in 2008, while Quinn started 18 of 19. Joining the seniors on the back line will, most likely, be sophomores Lani Huntley and Bri Cagle. Huntley comes off of a monster freshman season which saw her start all 20 matches. Huntley also scored the game-winning goal in a pivotal lateseason contest with Delaware. Cagle started in 11 of 17 matches registering three shots during the season. Vying for playing time at defender will be senior transfer Marshett Clarke, who joins the Panthers from Michigan State, as well as freshmen Megan Geiger, Bridget Gilmore, and Erin Hill. Geiger, Gilmore, and Hill are a trio of Georgia high school products, coming from Parkview, Etowah, and St. Pius X, respectively. GOALKEEPERS Junior Heidi Blankenship will be back in goal for the Panthers in 2009 after a rock-solid 2008 campaign. Entering the season, Blankenship is fi fth all-time in goals against average in school history. Blankenship’s 77 saves ranked her fi fth in the CAA. Kellianne Collins will also look for time in goal for Georgia State after seeing action in nine games for the Panthers in 2008. Collins proved to be an asset when she took over starting duties for two games during a Blankenship injury, shutting out Georgia Southern for 99 minutes in a Panther 1-0 overtime victory.
