Courtesy of Augsburg junior women's soccer player Whitney Holman: My name is Whitney Holman. I’m a junior at Augsburg College. I am majoring in Psychology and Religion. On the field, I am a left defender for the Augsburg women’s soccer team. Our 2008 season is well underway and we are currently 8-2-3 overall as well as 4-0-3 in MIAC play. The team is currently ranked third in the MIAC; however, the top two teams have played two more games than we have. The team is strong and continues to play with a lot of heart.
One unique aspect of our program is the group of people that it consists of. Our team, along with our coaches is a great example of hardworking, driven individuals mixed with a lighter side that knows how to have fun and while still getting the job done. Laughing, dancing, making up lyrics to original songs, basketballs, pumpkins and eating candy are just a few examples that can summarize our program in a nutshell. The chemistry of our team is a strong aspect of the Augsburg women’s soccer program. e recognize that we truly train and play for and with each other, which is exactly why it makes it so enjoyable and successful.
