Women's Soccer Signs Two More Recruits
4/16/2000
Huntington, W.Va. - Sarah Gupton of Richmond, Indiana, and Lauren Scott of Columbus, Ohio have signed National Letters of Intent to play women's soccer at Marshall University according to Thundering Herd head coach Teresa Patterson. The two will join seven other athletes who signed with the Herd earlier this month.
Gupton, a left midfielder, scored 56 goals and recorded 105 assists during her career at Richmond High School. She was her team's most valuable player and an all-conference selection. Gupton is a member of the Indiana Olympic Development Program State team and the FC Dayton Club soccer team.
"Sarah is a good athlete with the speed necessary to get behind defenses and create scoring opportunities for her team," said Patterson. "She will be a great compliment to our corps of outside midfielders."
Scott, a defender, is a four-time all-conference selection, two-time MVP, and team captain from Hillard Derby High School. She plays club soccer for the Ohio Premiere Soccer Club that captured state championships in 1997 and 1998. In 1998, Ohio Premiere advanced to the Midwest Regional finals.
"Lauren is a natural defender who has played against some of the best competition in the country at the club level," said Patterson. "Her experience will help her to contribute immediately."
The Thundering Herd will open the 2000 season on August 25th with a 7 p.m. home game against Youngstown State University.
