"Saturday will be the culmination of a long
year of preparation" said Gallagher. "After months of telephone calls
and organization, the time has finally come to get the girls on the field and it
is a prospect which has everyone at the club excited."
Gallagher has assembled a mouth watering squad for
those visiting Bowditch Stadium this season. In the year prior to the kick
start of the Women's Professional League, women's soccer fans are sure to see
future professionals in Renegades colors during 2008.
Returning faces for the 2008 season include club
captain Lauren MacIver (pictured), midfielders Kelsey Hood and Tori Huster,
forward Jamie Craft and Goalkeeper Jasmine Phillips.
"We have formed a foundation to our team with
the backbone of last seasons squad returning," said Gallagher. "With
these players joined by an array of incoming talent, Mark McDevitt and I are
very excited about the capabilities of our side."
New faces on show at Bowditch Stadium this weekend include
Honda NCAA National Player of the Year Ashlee Pistorius
(Texas A&M University), Allison Martino (Texas A&M University), Gabriela Demoner
(Franklin Pierce University) and Marcy Gans (Creighton University).
Saturday's fixture also marks the season opener for
a Jersey Sky Blue outfit which found a place in the 2007 W-League play-offs
after a 12-2 mark in the regular season.
"Jersey Sky Blue are a fantastic side
complimented
by some tremendous collegiate athletes, " said Gallagher.
"Saturdays game is shaping up to be a fantastic article for women's soccer
fans in Boston."
