Player Interviews

This past week we picked up two solid wins over a much improved Catholic University team and Frostburg State University. We scored a total of 5 goals between the two games and Freshman Goalie Annie McCoach posted two shut outs. We host old CAC rival Salisbury this coming Wednesday night under the lights at 7pm and travel to St.Mary's on Sunday. This week we feature interviews with freshman/transfer Jordan Porretto and junior Gabby Kuhar. Jordan Porretto: 1. How do you think you can impact the team this season on and off the field? "I'm going to keep working my hardest to help the team be successful on the field and keep a positive up beat attitude." 2. What has been your favorite moment of the season so far this year? "My favorite moment of the season so far was the first weekend of season when we had back to back wins against Eastern and Haverford. It felt awesome to start off my college soccer career with two great team wins against ranked teams." 3. What song gets you pumped up before a game? "I don't really have a favorite, but I like anything that I can dance to (in the locker room)." 4. What is a strength that our team has that sets us apart? "Our ability to move the ball quickly and to feet is really great. Also, our willingness to not give up when things don't always go our is a major part of our game that lets us compete with any team out there. " 5. What would you like to work on as a player to better yourself over this season? "My fitness can always be better and pushing up more in the midfield when we are on transition to help the offense." 6. What is your favorite aspect of Stevenson University? "My favorite aspect of Stevenson University is being a part of the team. I think we all get along really well and it makes my experience at Stevenson a lot more fun being able to play and hangout with them all the time." Gabby Kuhar: 1. How do you think you can impact the team this season on and off the field? "I think I can impact the team this season on and off the field by always giving 100% whether it is practice or a game and staying positive and making people happy." 2. What has been your favorite moment of the season so far this year? "So far this season, my favorite moment was when we scored in the last two minutes of the William Patterson game and we came out with a win because we didn't stop playing or give up." 3. What song gets you pumped up before a game? "Before the game I like to listen to whatever is playing on Lacey's iPod in the locker room because she has the best songs ever. If we are traveling I just listen to the 8tracks app on my phone which has a pre-game pump up station and it always gets me ready for a game. " 4. What is a strength that our team has that sets us apart? "I think the strength that our team has that sets us apart is heart. We want it so bad and if we go down a goal we don't put our heads down and accept that we are losing. We fight until the last second of the game and give 110% until we come out with a win." 5. What would you like to work on as a player to better yourself over this season? "As a player I would like to work on my communication. Each year I have improved on something and I think talking on the field is something that could turn me into a totally different player and overall benefit the whole team when it comes to games." 6. What is your favorite aspect of Stevenson University? "My favorite aspect of Stevenson University is that it is very goal oriented and you are almost guaranteed a good career path when you graduate."
