Photos and story by Kate Chester
Female athletes 鈥 especially soccer athletes 鈥 are in the news and enjoying the spotlight, with the U.S. Women鈥檚 National soccer team having nabbed the World Cup title this month. At the local level, 小黄猫传媒 is mirroring that momentum as it prepares to launch its first-ever women鈥檚 collegiate-level soccer team.
And 小黄猫传媒 is looking for talented players! Tryouts are under way, as the team prepares for the upcoming season as part of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges conference league.
鈥淩ight now we have approximately 15 women who are committed to playing on the team, and we鈥檙e looking to add another seven to 10 players over the course of the month or so,鈥 said Bill Patterson, head coach of the women鈥檚 team and a part-time instructor at 小黄猫传媒.
The women鈥檚 team currently practices twice per week, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesdays and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursdays. All practices take place at the聽Rock Creek Campus (17705 NW Springville Road).
In August, practices will take place four to five times per week in preparation for the NWAACC Friendlies tournament Aug. 29-30 in Eugene, which precedes the official women鈥 soccer season beginning Sept. 1.
鈥淲e鈥檙e so excited to kick off this new team here at 小黄猫传媒, to make soccer a reality at the college,鈥 said Patterson. 鈥淲ith a few additional players on the women鈥檚 team, we鈥檒l be in a position to find our rhythm in the league 鈥 and hopefully, to bring home some victories for the college.鈥
