After last year’s injury-plagued season, the Appalachian State women’s soccer team looks forward to a fresh start with a healthy squad. Redshirt junior defender/midfielder Jamie Palermo, now former forward Sharon Osterbind and several other key players all missed games after being hurt, which led to some holes in the lineup, but also provided the opportunity for other players to step up and have breakout seasons.
The Mountaineers (1-2) will enjoy the return of their leading scorer, senior forward Kat Greer, who found the back of the net five times and senior midfield/forward Emily Cowie, who led the team in assists.
