SPRINGFIELD,
Mass. - The Caldwell College women's soccer team dropped a close
game to Le Moyne College, 2-0 at the American International

Cougars winless on the season at 0-2, while the Dolphins improve to

almost tied the game midway through the half. But a shot by senior
midfielder Samantha Rinks (Corinth, TX/Billy Ryan), pictured,
hit the post and bounced away from the goal, keeping the Cougars
scoreless. With less than four minutes to play, Megan O'Shea tallied
an insurance goal for the Dolphins, who defeated Wilmington College
2-0 in yesterday's first match at the AIC Tournament.
Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Hoenig (Howell, NJ/Howell)
recorded eight saves in the loss. Le Moyne's Amanda Abbatiello was
required to make one save for the shutout.

WOMEN'S SOCCER PICKED SIXTH IN CACC PRESEASON POLL
8-14-08
CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College women's soccer team was predicted
to finish sixth this season by the Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference 2008 Preseason Poll, the league announced. The poll has the
Cougars, coached by Nate Guagliardi, moving up one spot from last
year’s seventh-place finish. Defending CACC champion Holy Family
University is the favorite after receiving seven first-place votes in
the poll, which was voted on by the conference’s 12 head coaches.
Last season Caldwell was 5-14 overall and 5-6 in the CACC, tying for
seventh with Nyack College and qualifying for the CACC Tournament for
the third time in four seasons. Three-time all-CACC midfielder
Kristee Paknis (Whiting, NJ/Manchester), pictured, is back after
leading the Cougars in scoring with eight goals and three assists for 19
points. On the eve of her senior season, Paknis has totaled 57 points in
57 games for Caldwell. The team’s two other returning seniors are
midfielder Samantha Rinks (Corinth, TX/Billy Ryan) and defender
Kim Fenton (Galloway Twp., NJ/Absegami), who received all-CACC
honorable mention last fall.
Due to the graduation of seven seniors from last year’s squad, the
Cougars have just five players returning. They will be joined by an
incoming recruiting class of 17 players that includes five transfers and
12 freshmen.
Caldwell starts the 2008 season at the American International Tournament
on Aug. 29 in Springfield, Mass.

CALDWELL WOMEN'S SOCCER ADDS CLASS OF 14
6-30-08
CALDWELL,
N.J. – Fourteen student-athletes will be joining the Caldwell College
women’s soccer team for the fall of 2008, coach Nate Guagliardi
announced. The recruiting class, which includes three transfer students
and 11 incoming freshmen, will bolster the Cougars’ roster that returns
just five players from last season’s 5-14 squad.
“With the majority of our team graduating this spring, we basically had
to bring in an entire team,” Guagliardi said. “We were fortunate to be
able to increase our numbers while also attracting several quality
players to come to Caldwell. This recruiting class will give us a little
bit of everything, from speed to technical players to solid defenders,
and I think we can be competitive right away.”
The transfer students include two from junior colleges and one from a
Division III school. Junior forward Nicole Laureigh was a NJCAA
Division III All-American while at Ocean County College in Toms River,
N.J. A native of Lacey Township, N.J., Laureigh led Ocean to the Region
19 title in 2005, then tallied 17 goals and seven assists for 41 points
to rank among the national leaders in 2006. Junior midfielder Brianna
Diaz from Chili, N.Y., had an outstanding career at Monroe (N.Y.)
Community College, where she helped her team place third and fifth at
the NJCAA Division I National Tournament the past two years. At the
nationals this past fall, Diaz notched two goals and five assists in
Monroe’s final two games to clinch fifth place.
Sophomore midfielder Lauren Mastellone comes to Caldwell after
recording 16 goals and three assists to earn all-North Atlantic
Conference honors as a freshman at Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass.
Mastellone, who is from Howell, N.J., attended Monsignor Donovan High
School in Lakewood, N.J.
Six of the incoming freshmen are from New Jersey, including teammates
Courtney Hatton and Giana Scerbo of Ridgefield Park High
School. Hatton notched 18 goals and 76 assists in her career while
earning second team all-League honors four times. Scerbo is a
three-time, first team all-League performer who scored a school-record
70 goals in her career. Forward Katie Margiotta of Sewell, N.J.,
was named second team all-County and second team all-South Jersey Group
4 as a senior at Washington Township High School.
Midfielder Ruba Sbeah led Sayreville (N.J.) War Memorial High
School in scoring with 11 goals and five assists while being named to
the all-Division and NJGSCA All-State teams as a senior. Midfielder
Allie Madura helped Kinnelon (N.J.) High School capture the 2006
Group 1 state championship. Forward Marissa Brown is an
outstanding athlete who excelled in soccer and basketball at North
Arlington (N.J.) High School. The Star-Ledger named her one of the top
20 female athletes in Group 1.
Defender Nikki D’Orsaneo is one of three players from the state
of Maryland in this year’s recruiting class. D’Orsaneo was a two-time
all-County first team selection at Bowie High School and was chosen her
team’s Most Valuable Player as a junior and senior. Midfielder
Chelsea Hoover of Hagerstown, Md., was named to the all-County first
team three times while leading Smithsburg High School to the Division 1A
state Championship in 2005 and 2006. Victoria Cesaro of Owings,
Md., was a two-year starter as a goalkeeper and forward at St. Mary’s
High School.
Defender Rosalee Edsall of Bellport, N.Y., was her team’s
defensive Most Valuable Player and captain as a senior at Bellport High
School. The only international player of this year’s class is midfielder
Cecilia Westerberg of Uppsala, Sweden. Westerberg, who attends
Fyris School in Uppsala, plays for Borje SK in the Swedish second
division.
The Cougars lost seven players to graduation from last year’s team that
qualified for the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament for
the third time in four years after finishing 5-6 in conference play.
Three-time all-CACC midfielder Kristee Paknis (Whiting,
NJ/Manchester) leads the returning players.
