Then And Now!

This past spring the Warrior women's soccer team spent time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to build homes in the Modesto Area for low income families. The area, known as Hope Village, is finally close to complete. Check out the article in today's Modesto Bee http://tiny.cc/1T681. It sure looks a lot different than the last time we were there!

Merced Fog & Warriors Make A Great Team!

The Warriors ran an Intensive Training Academy this last week for the Merced Fog and head coach Eddie Montiel. Coach Bolton was assisted by Warrior women's soccer assistant coach Adrienne Sorenson, goalkeeper Millie Brown (who was in charge of goalkeeper training), and forward Marissa Dunaway. The Warriors staff spent four nights working with the Fog on passing and combination play. It was a great time! The Fog did an awesome job and have promised to come this fall and be ball girls for us.

It is camp time!

Warrior Youth Soccer Camps start Monday. For three weeks this summer coaches from men's and women's soccer as well as current and former players will coach boys and girls ages 6-13. The camps are directed by head women's soccer coach Gabriel Bolton and new men's soccer coach Dana Taylor. For more information visit www.warriorathletics.com/camps.

Soccer Seniors Recognized

Friends and family gathered at the Village Cafe to honor the student-athlete seniors at Cal State Stanislaus. Women's soccer seniors (from left to right) Melissa Phillips, Petra Schaaf, Tiffani Moore, Caitie Van Wormer, and Adrienne Sorenson all received their student-athlete sash as well as a Cal State Stanislaus blanket. The sash will be worn tomorrow and Satuday at the graduation ceremonies. Mel, Petra and Caitie played four years for the Warriors while Adrienne and Tiffani competed for two seasons after transfering from community college. These five players, along with Gennaka Fox and Rachel Mathews who could not attend the ceremony, will be missed greatly.

Sorenson Joins Coaching Staff

While getting a job right out of college is pretty common...walking directly from your last final to your new job does not happen very often. However, that's what Adrienne Sorenson did today. After completing a stellar playing career for the Warriors, Sorenson today joined the coaching staff as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator for Cal State Stanislaus women's soccer. An official announcement will be coming soon at warriorathletics.com.

Dinner With The Coaches

Ashley, Jessica, and Millie joined the coaches for the last Dinner With The Coaches on Wednesday night. Jessica made an amazing breaded chicken and green beans with help from Casey...Ashley, Millie and Gabe made the mashed potatoes...and once again Sally really didn't do anything as far as we can tell other than eat...After dinner we had some of Ashley's (Lil Ash as she is known to the team) famous strawberry shortcake. It was amazing! Then it was time for Catch Phrase. Millie, Sally and Gabe dominated! The "sprinkle" celebration is amazing!

WARRIOR DAY!
