ABOUT NEWBERRY
The women’s soccer team has been predicted to finish in fourth place in the South Atlantic Conference in 2015, as announced in the annual preseason coaches’ poll.
The Wolves are led by second-year head coach Deedee Sanguinetti, who earned 2014 South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year honors. Despite losing a big offensive group from the 2014 season, Sanguinetti is hopeful for a successful season this year.
The defense will be led by senior Amber Sanchez who started every game last season.
Newberry fell to Tampa in 2010, 1-0 at the CSU Invitational and is 0-2 all-time against the Spartans. The game against Rollins will be the first match between the two schools.
