Let’s Look At Notre Dame Women’s Soccer Team

Yesterday we took a look at the Notre Dame men’s soccer team, so today it makes sense to introduce you to the Women’s squad. If you were familiar with the team last season, you know that the Lady Irish were extremely good- even ranked No. 1 in the nation for some time, largely based on the play of their senior forward, Kerri Hanks. But the Hanks era is over and the Irish are still in good hands.

You should check out the season preview right here in order to get a better idea about the state of the Notre Dame women’s soccer team.  They have already opened up play, and there are several opportunities coming up to see the team in action. Head coach Randy Waldrum summed up the changing nature of the team like this:

“The difference with this year’s team may be the perception outside our program that we won’t have any stars because of the loss of some of the big names like Kerri Hanks, Brittany Bock and Carrie Dew. Within our team, and those that know about our team, they know we have a lot of stars. A few in the soccer community may not realize that right now because we don’t have many of the household names we’ve had in past years, but by the end of the season, these current players will have that same kind of name recognition. I’m excited about this team and our expectations for them are every bit as high as they were last year.”
