Women's Soccer Completes Roster With Addition of Terrell (5-27-2009)
Danville,
Ky. — The Georgetown College Women's Soccer roster for 2009
is complete with the signing of Brooke Terrell on May 26th.
Terrell, a goalkeeper for Boyle County High, was a three year starter for the Rebels and helped lead her school to three, section runner-ups, three regional championships and two district titles during her career. Last season, she posted 15 shutouts.
"Brooke's work ethic and leadership will be a great addition to the Georgetown program," said her high school coach Brian Deem. "I believe that Georgetown found a 'diamond in the rough' with Brooke. She's a fierce competitor that respects the game."
Tiger Coach Leah Castleman is excited to add depth to the keeper position. "Brooke is very vocal on the field and has the athleticism and agility to make the big save."

amazing 80-9-11 overall record in her high school career. As an

Women's Soccer Adds Ace to 2009 Roster (2-12-09)
Georgetown
College Soccer Coach Leah Crews Castleman expects big things out of the
newest member of the 2009 Tiger team, Alessandra Jansen.
Jansen, a midfielder for St. Ursula Academy in Cincinnati, served as the starting center and major contributor in her school's back-to-back state championships in 2007 and 2008.
"I am very excited to add a player of Alessandra's
caliber to our roster," said Castleman. "I believe she will be a
huge contributor to our program and to our school."
As her club coach, Keri Thoman has had the opportunity to watch Jansen
develop as a player and describes her as a "very technical" and "very smart
player."
"She has the ability to work herself through tight spaces and find players' feet or find players in behind the last line of defense. She works extremely hard and is committed to getting better each day," said Thoman.
