GIRLS’ SOCCER 1994-1995: SOCCER PREVIEW : Six Teams to Watch : Capistrano Valley

Coach: John Bolger (second year).

1993-94: 21-5-3, 8-2 in the South Coast League; lost to Palos Verdes Peninsula, 2-1, in the semifinals of the Division I playoffs.

Key returners: Jo Ellen Bosco, midfielder, Sr.; Erin Connors, defender, So.; Liz Delgado, midfielder, So.; Sara Hannay, midfielder, Jr.; Mary Johnson, defender, Sr.; Christina Jordan, goalkeeper, Sr.; Tara Maher, midfielder, Sr.; Renee Parker, forward, Sr.; Jenne Riesz, defender, Sr.; Laurel Simpson, sweeper, Sr.; Kelly Skeen, forward, Sr.; Denise Velton, stopper, Sr.

Key newcomers: Kim Abbamonto, midfielder, Fr.; Julie Castallanos, goalkeeper, Sr.; Shawna Draper, goalkeeper, So.; Renee Peterson, midfielder, So.; Tracy Skeen, midfielder, So.

Outlook: Bolger returns after a two-season absence to a team with much more talent than the one he left, but the players might take some time getting used to his ball-control system. Connors and Hannay, first-team all-league selections, and second-team picks Simpson and Delgado made up a strong nucleus. “It’s going to be a really good team,” Bolger said. “It can’t help but be.”
