SAN FRANCISCO – Fall sports are upon us and with it brings Academy of Art women's soccer. 2015 featured a year of growth on the pitch where a young team showed flashes of strength including a three-game winning on the road against Hawaiian Pacific West Conference teams. For a full recap of the 2015 season, click here!
 
The 2016 season begins under the reign of head coach Katie Awerkamp who begins her third year at the helm. By her side comes the addition of David Siracusa who took on the assistant coaching role in July. Their first two contests come on the road with the first featuring a matchup with Simon Fraser in British Columbia and the second at Western Washington.

The Urban Knights will be led by five seniors including the likes of Natalie Gabriel, Laura Mick, Makayla Godden, Aly Morgan, and Maddie Shelton. Shelton and Gabriel are the two longest tenured players on the team, as they were both recruited to ART U out of high school. The five senior Knights will look to draw upon their experience and lead by example as they compete in their final season.
 
Academy of Art also welcomes six incoming players for their 2016 campaign. Casey Childers, Chayney Mata, and Dani Tellez were the first to be announced (press release) and Abi Chavez, Jenny Wittor, and Mikayla Lopez followed soon after (press release). The recruiting class will help fortify the team's defensive style of play as four of the six newcomers specialize in the backfield.
 
Be sure to tune in this season as women's soccer aims to make a name for themselves in the PacWest.
