Youngstown State women’s soccer program adds 9 players
TweetStaff report
YOUNGSTOWN
Youngstown State has added nine recruits for women’s soccer for the 2012 season.
Joining the Penguins will be defenders Rebecca Fink (Harrison City, Pa./Penn Trafford), Shannon Leghart (South Park, Pa.) and Shay Sade (Hod hasharon, Israel), forwards Chelsey Haney (Hopewell, Pa.) and Katie Hohmann (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny), forward/midfielders Karlee Kline (Clinton Township, Mich./Chippewa Valley) and Sabrina Mottershead (Brampton, Ontario/Cardinal Leger), midfielder Vanessa Mladenovski (Shelby Township, Mich./Henry Ford II), center-midfielder Macey Riese (Miamisburg, Ohio), and goalkeeper Claire Spleth (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North).
“The staff is extremely excited about this class because of its athleticism and technical ability,” said YSU coach Will Lemke said. “Many of the players we have signed and our walk-ons are not only exceptional athletes with high level experience but they are also very versatile players which gives us much more depth and tactical flexibility.
“We also feel this class helps us address some of our weaknesses from last year by helping us become more consistent defensively, and more efficient with our finishing while complimenting some of the positives in our midfield and the attack.”

Until YSU get proper facilities you will not attract the caliber of players it takes to win at that level. Believe me, I know. I watched this program from the conception. From the first coach hired to the ones that left because the program had no relavence to the athletic program. How about this, You have soccer practice going and all of sudden, football teams run onto the field for a game or practice. How can you run a top notch program? Stambaugh stadium is no place to play a soccer game. I bet everyone in their conference who program is on solid footing has a soccer only facility. Good coaches have left and great coaches will never come. Although, they have hired some terrible coaches as well. YSU must get a on campus soccer stadium period!!!!!! Now, if you want to win and you haven't since the program been in existence, should tell you something. Major, major problems. If you want to win and get your program going in the right direction, I will give you the blue print its that plan and simple.
