Program Notes

Ceci Clark returns as one of the team's defensive leaders.

The Bates College women's soccer program gives student-athletes an opportunity to compete in one of the nation's most competitive NCAA Division III conferences. Members of the women's soccer team are expected to demonstrate an indefatigable work ethic, a fierce competitive spirit, an encouraging attitude, and a passion for the game. They are also encouraged to have a good sense of humor and to realize that hard work and fun aren't incompatible. Students who have demonstrated a high level of success both in the classroom and on the soccer field should consider applying to Bates.

The regular season consists of a 14-game schedule, including nine games against New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) opponents. The top seven teams in the regular season standings qualify for the NESCAC Championship, with the winner earning an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship.

2003 Recap/2004 Outlook

Kim Alexander led Bates with 10 goals and 26 points as a rookie in 2003.

Bates advanced to the 2003 NESCAC Championship final with wins over Trinity and Bowdoin. The team made its first championship game appearance thanks in part to one of the best recruiting classes in program history.

Kim Alexander '07 (Cumberland, Maine) scored 10 goals and added six assists to earn second-team All-NESCAC honors. Classmate Meg Coffin '07 (Westford, Mass.) was the only first-year to earn a spot on the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association's all-region team.

Bates finished 12-3-2 and was nationally ranked for much of the season, peaking at 13th. The Bobcats return nine of their top 10 scorers, but will need to replace first-team All-NESCAC and All-New England selections Catherine Crosby at midfield and Lynne Antinarelli at goalkeeper.
