LYNNWOOD -- New Edmonds CC women's soccer coach Adam Fenster and his coaching staff have hit the ground running, signing 12 new freshmen for next fall. There is a strong base of decorated local players with a mix of out of state flavor. "We are very excited about bringing in a new class of freshmen that should compete from the get go," said Fenster. "We have a lot of local talent, and a few from out of the area that should add to our team dynamic."

The team will return six players from last year, including keeper
Erikah Ledesma (Yakima, Wash.) and midfielder
Alex Modica (Shoreline, Wash.). Ledesma was one of the main goal keeper's last year and understands the league. Modica was the starting center midfielder. Fenster added, "It's always nice to have that base player." Midfielders
Karla Olsan (Spanaway, Wash.) and
Nataliya Datskiv (Lynnwood, Wash.), and defenders
Victoria Hunter (Edmonds, Wash.) and
Audriawna Andrade (Lynnwood, Wash.) round out the sophomores. "I'm really pleased about the sophomores who are coming back. They will continue to rebuild the culture of our program."
Fenster has finalized his coaching staff -- veteran Val Seid and keeper coach Aaron Johnson, who assisted the past two years, will help in the development of the women's soccer program. "Seid has a real connection to the local soccer community. He's been a coach in club soccer for many years, and has four-year coaching experience," said Fenster. "Aaron Johnson will take over as our keeper coach." Fall sports begins official practices on August 1. The first chance to see the Tritons will be a scrimmage at Northwest University on August 21.
