Last year, in their first year as a varsity team, the women hooters came away with a fine 3-4 record that was in no way indicative of the way they played. . Twice, the Lady Panthers lost by a single goal in overtime, once to UVM and once to powerful Brown University. Tisa Kenney did a superb job in the goal as she kept the panthers close in all of their games. Despite the facl that only two of the women had played soccer before coming to Plymouth, the team showed a great deal of improvement during the season. They will soon establish themselves as a power to be reckoned with in soccer. 16
