    Reinhardt Eagles Women’s Soccer Team 2015 Preview
    Head Coach: Andy Kaplan
    Facility: Ken White Field

    The Lady Eagles finished last season with fifteen wins, four losses, and two ties while having an AAC conference record of seven wins, two losses, and one tie. Following such a spectacular season in 2014, the Lady Eagles are picked to win the conference title this year to best last year’s early tournament loss.

    Coaching Staff:
    At the helm of the Lady Eagles we have Andy Kaplan. Coach Kaplan is currently in his 13th season as the women’s head coach and has had steadily improving success on and off the field since his arrival. Not only has he produced NAIA Region tournament contenders several times, he also pushes his team to academic success. The Lady Eagles boasted the highest team GPA in the national rankings. Prior to his career at Reinhardt Coach Kaplan was a history teach and men’s soccer coach at Marietta High School in Marietta, Georgia for eleven years. He attended Macalester College where he was a four-year starter on the men’s soccer team. He later obtained his master’s degree from Boston University.

    Players:
    The team includes twenty-three players, and will be led by six seniors and five juniors. Although the season is starting off on a positive note the team has already been affected by injuries to key players- Yanci Akselsen a ,lightning quick forward, and Chelsey Munday ,a defensive specialist. Interestingly enough those two players are also the two players that had to travel the farthest road to Reinhardt. Yanci is from San Miguel, El Salvador, while Chelsey is from Bristol, England. In a recent interview with Chelsey she stated,” being away from them, (her family) is definitely tough at times but my Reinhardt family makes the separation easier and more comfortable.” That type of bond can be felt throughout the team as they all play with a unity that breeds success. They are all aware of the high expectations for the season and have each embraced them with high energy and an acceptance of the challenge at hand.
