2009-10 Soccer Team
Soccer
The Pomeroy soccer program is now in its tenth year, has racked up some serious accomplishments, and has its sights set on new levels of competition. 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 Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Earlham College, and will continue to steadily build the difficulty of the schedule.
The Pomeroys have had four players selected as USCAA All-Americans, Sarah Greenberg '04, formerly of Bloomington South High School, Sara Guinn, formerly of South Vermillion High School, Lauren Sullivan, and current junior Erin Pugh, both formerly of Terre Haute North Vigo. The last season saw five more players named as USCAA Academic All-Americans: Maureen Brown, Emily Contreraz, Erin Pugh, Britt Simmerman, and Lauren Sullivan. In 2005, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods hosted and participated in the USCAA national championships. Woods soccer players have also established a tradition of high academic achievement and student leadership and pride themselves on being a close-knit, supportive team.
The last three recruiting classes have allowed the Pomeroys a chance to set entirely new standards of success, starting large numbers of freshmen in 2007 and 2008, with the likelihood of more starting in 2009. In the coming season, the Pomeroys look to continue the trend of being an attacking team, scoring goals, winning matches, and giving our players great competitive experiences.
Home matches are played on an excellent pitch, located at the northwest corner of campus and the Pomeroys practice on an equally impressive training ground; both are part of the beautiful soccer/softball complex.
