The Battalion
Texas A&M soccer coach G. Guerrieri said
he knew his team would face new challenges
heading into this season. With the loss of three
starters from last year’s Big 12 championship
squad to graduation, Guerrieri said he realized
he would have to replace his entire midfield
and incorporate eight freshmen into the team
in about two weeks’ time.
If the team’s play in the preseason is any in
dication, it is ready for some new obstructions.
The Texas A&M soccer team completed its
preseason schedule Saturday night with a 2-0
win over a team of A&M alumni. With the win
Saturday and an earlier win over the Universi
ty of Oregon, the Aggies have defeated their pre
season opponents by a combined score of 7-0.
Guerrieri used some unorthodox methods
to get the team ready for the season. He had a
team of former Navy Seals put the team
through an 8 a.m. workout every morning dur
ing two-a-days. The Seals had the team do var
ious team-building exercises at an obstacle
course owned by the University.
Nicky Thrasher said the workouts with the
Seals helped improve the team’s chemistry and
helped the team focus on its goals.
“It was really good for the team to get to
know each other better and where we stand as
a team,” Thrasher said. “It helped teamwork
and knowing how hard we need to push our
selves mentally and knowing that the minute
we step on the field we need to go 110 percent.”
Thrasher is replacing A&M all-time leading
scorer Bryn Blalack as the focus of the offense.
The coaches have put Thrasher in a position
where she will be more involved in scoring goals.
“T love being in an attack position,” Thrash
er said. “Everyone loves to score goals, and I
think they found a position for me up there.”
Guerrieri said the play of many players on
the team has impressed him.
“I think Nicky Thrasher and Allison Peters
are doing terrific,” Guerrieri said. “Michelle
Remington and Michelle Royal are both really
stepping up. Our defense is looking really
good. The midfield is really ahead of schedule
compared to where a lot of people predicted a
brand-new midfield to be at this time.”
The team starts the regular season against
the University of North Texas at 7 p.m. Tues
day night at the Aggie Soccer Complex.
