QUICK NOTES
WILDCATS RETURN BULK OF SCORING FROM 2009: Players who accounted for 28 of Central Washington's 33 goals last season return, and a very experienced group is listed among the Wildcats' projected starters as they begin the 24th women's soccer season in school history on Saturday against Chico State. Team scoring leader
Kaycie Hutchins (Port Orchard, Wash./Bellarmine Prep) had five goals and eight assists last season, while junior
Serena Tomaso (Enumclaw, Wash.) and sophomore
Carson McKole (Oak Harbor, Wash.) were also five-goal scorers in 2009.
NEW FACE IN GOAL: There is only one face in the projected starting lineup who is new to the Wildcat program in 2010, and that is true freshman
Kori Butterfield (Duvall, Wash./Cedarcrest HS), who is penciled in as the starting goalkeeper. She has the task of replacing four-year starter and school record-setter Amber Easterbrook between the posts.
2010 CAPTAINS: Three players were selected as team captains by their peers for the 2010 season. Serving in that capacity for the year are seniors Hutchins and
Ellie Eckroth (Auburn, Wash./Auburn Mountainview HS), as well as junior defender
Hillary Franks (Yakima, Wash./West Valley HS).
