Pomeroy Soccer

The Pomeroys will be a young team for the 2012 campaign, but may have some of the best talent The Woods has yet to assemble. It will certainly be exciting to see. Though they lose their midfield heart with the graduation of Jessica Black, the combination of veteran upperclassmen like Samantha Morrison, Julie Debish, Denae Sallis, Logan Jones, and Liz DeMoss with the large, skilled, athletic group of incoming freshmen will be well worth watching. The Pomeroys are hungry for a fourth trip to the USCAA National Finals following last year’s hiatus from the tournament. Fall of 2012 will probably see a return to our values of attacking possession soccer, no matter how strong the opponent.

Opponents range from similar small colleges like Franklin College and St. Catharine College to larger institutions like Anderson University. More importantly, the Pomeroys continue to play successful, quality opponents like Hanover College, Taylor University, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, one of the great advantages of membership in USCAA. We can and will keep adjusting the level of competition upward.

The Pomeroys have had four players selected as USCAA All-Americans: Sarah Greenberg ’04, formerly of Bloomington South High School, Sarah Guinn, formerly of South Vermillion High School, Lauren Sullivan ‘09, and Erin Pugh ‘10, both formerly of Terre Haute North Vigo. The last season saw three more players named as USCAA Academic All-Americans: Julie Debish, Ashtynn Masterson, and Samantha Morrison. They are part of a long tradition of Woods soccer players setting high standards for academic achievement and student leadership. Even more importantly, this is a team that prides itself on being a close-knit, supportive group of women.

Home matches are played on our match field located at the northwest corner of campus, with a separate adjoining training field; both are part of the beautiful soccer/softball complex.
