CALVIN KNIGHT SPORTS REPORT FOR AUGUST 8, 2014
Women's Soccer Ranked 24th in Preseason NSCAA Division III Top 25 Poll
WOMEN'S SOCCER
The Calvin women's soccer team is ranked 24th in the preseason Division III Top 25 poll released by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America earlier today.
Under the direction of head coach Mark Recker, the Knights finished 19-3-2 a year ago while capturing MIAA regular season and MIAA Tournament titles. The Knights then advanced to the NCAA III Tournament for the second straight year and for the eighth time in the last nine years.
In a first round NCAA III Tournament triumph over Aurora last November, Recker collected his 200th victory at the helm of the Calvin women's soccer program. In 13 years as Calvin's head coach, Recker is 200-55-20 for a winning percentage of .764 that ranks 16th on the active Division III women's soccer coaches list for winning percentage.
Calvin returns 13 letterwinners from last year's team including first team All-MIAA selections Taylor TenHarmsel (Holland/Holland Christian HS) and Paige Capel (Hudsonville/Unity Christian HS) and second team All-MIAA selections Sydney Kinney (Ada/Grand Rapids Christian HS) and Kelsey Hiegel (Mundelein, IL/Mundelein HS).
Calvin is scheduled to open its season on August 29 against Webster University (MO) in a tournament hosted by Augustana University (IL).
