2013 Las Vegas Girls Soccer Capsule

LAS VEGAS

Head coach: Steve Bowden, second season

2012 record: 6-4-2 (6-2-2 Northeast, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): 11 (seven)

Top players: D Gabriela Morales (Sr.), MF Kara Bowden (Jr.), F/MF Mackenzie McCoy (Jr.), F/MF Ashlee Jordan (So.), F/MF Adriana Domingo (So.), D Alyssa Mireles (So.), D Aly Rhoads (So.)

Outlook: The Wildcats bring back 11 returnees, but still are very young with only three seniors on the roster.

“This year’s team looks to build on last season’s second-place finish in the league,” coach Bowden said. “We have increased our overall depth.

“Ashlee Jordan, Adriana Domingo and Mackenzie McCoy and the rest of the offense will look to improve on the Wildcats’ inconsistent offense from last season. The midfield attack will be led by Kara Bowden. The defense should again be strong led by returners Gabi Morales, Alyssa Mireles and Aly Rhoads.

“We are excited about this year’s team.”
