Jess Huda, a sports science major, is a self-proclaimed "soccer addict." Running up and down various soccer fields since she was seven, Huda played in the goalie cage for the past three years at Cabrini.

One of Huda's fondest memories was the team's trip to Boston. "It was a time for the team to bond and grow and form really good friendships," Huda said.

Huda lists her second fondest memory on the field as "kicking Eastem's butt this year 3-0 on our home field."

Senior Arthur Kelly will be heading back to Hampton, Va. after graduation. This business administration major had played soccer for four years. Kelly has had to miss several games, however, due to a collapsed lung.

''Even though I had to miss games due to my health playing soccer, Cabrini has been an amazing experience," Kelly said.

"I will miss my teammates the most. We have had some crazy times over the last four years."

"I would like to thanks my parents for their generosity, and my friends for everything they have done for me over the years," Kelly concluded.

'Tm glad I made the decision to come here and play. I can't wait to come back and coach next year."

After graduation, Huda will miss being able to pick up the phone and know that her friends would be only a building away. She hopes to have the time to come back next year to help the team.

Huda would like to say thanks to all of her coaches for believing in her on and off the field. "I am going to play soccer until I die," Huda said.

"I am going to miss all the girls. This year was so much fun, we all got along so well together. I will be back next year but it is not the same. I'm going to miss conversations with (Jess) Huda during games when we were bored. I'm going to miss superstitious routines before games with Ellen and Jess (Stork.)

Eric Lukash

The boy's soccer team is losing their captain of two years, senior Eric Lukash. Lukash has been the goalie for the men's soccer team for the past four years.

He has lead the team through two PAC championships and one NCAA tournament.When thinking back through his soccer career, "making the tournament was a great experience and very exciting," said Lukash when asked about his favorite memories of the team.

Lukash would like to thank his coach, Doug Meder, and his teammates for making his time as a Cav so memorable.

One of her favorite memories was the trip the soccer team took to Boston for a tournament.

"On the way home from Boston, all of us had to go to the bathroom and there was nothing around. We got off at an exit and the only thing we saw was a funeral home. We all went in to use the bathrooms and there were dead bodies inside. It was a crazy experience," Robuck said. She along with many others have had a great experience involving the sports teams at Cabrini. Unhappily, she is throwing in the towel and saying goodbye to the women's soccer team.

''Being a part of the team was a great experience and I am glad I was a part of it," Robuck said.

Looking back on her Cabrini career Atkinson can think of many funny memories. She mentioned the team's bus ride to Boston for a tournament. "Our bus broke down and all the upperclassmen had to stay an extra night and wait for someone to pick us up and (coach Leslie Danehy) LD broke out her dance moves," Atkinson said.

"This season has been the most fun I've ever had playing with any team. The team has so much talent and I have no doubt that they are going to pull it all together and win PAC's next year."

Atkinson is going to miss all of her coaches as well.

"I thank Diane for getting me here, LD for improving my game so much, and Ken for reminding me to breathe when I forgot to."
