SPRINGFIELD, OH - Head Coach Fran Kulas has named juniors Natalie Estep (Fairborn, Ohio/Fairborn) and Shana Ryan (London, Ohio/London), and sophomore Emily Gersbach (Hamilton, Ohio/Badin) as captains for the 2000 season.

"These three players did a fine job of leading our team in our sping season, and I trust that they will do an excellent job of instilling strong habits into our many incoming freshmen," said Kulas.  "In the rebuilding and reconstructing phases of a program, I feel that it is of paramount importance to have strong leadership to make the transition smooth.  I am confident that Natalie, Shana, and Emily will do an excellent job of leading our program back into national prominence at the Division III level of NCAA soccer."
