2016 Cimarron-Memorial Girls Soccer Capsule
August 22, 2016 - 10:53 pm
CIMARRON-MEMORIAL
League: Class 4A Northwest League
Head coach: George Morales, second season
2015 record: 11-7-1 (3-4-1 Northwest, third)
Returning letter winners (starters): Twelve (eight)
Top athletes: MF/F Haylei Hughes (Sr.), MF/F Annalise Esparza (Sr.), D Yasmin Martinez-Martinez (Sr.), D Haylee Nerio (So.), D Katie Caldwell (So.), GK Samantha Silva (Jr.)
Outlook: Esparza (17 goals, 5 assists) should be one of the top weapons on a team that returns eight starters, but must make up for some key graduation losses.
“We are hoping to build upon last year’s success,” Morales said. “There are some young players that are ready to step in and contribute immediately.
“We feel we will be competitive in what we believe is the toughest conference in the valley. We are looking forward to the challenge.”
