September 2nd, 2021 - The North Central College women's soccer team is hungry for the start of their 2021 season coming off of a year where they did not have a regular season to compete for a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Championship. With a preseason poll rank of second place, the women's soccer team is striving for first. 

"Winning the conference is a tremendous goal, but for us getting above ten wins and hosting a CCIW tournament game, which has never been done before in the program history are also things we want to accomplish this year," said Head Coach Andrew Gamarra who is now in his fifth season here at North Central College.



Led by 2019 First Team All-CCIW and Third Team All-Region Aly Crum and 18 other girls who return from the 2019 team that took third place in the conference, will use their experience and wisdom to help accomplish the goals that Gamarra has set for the team.

Mady Schmidt, Aly Crum, Lauren Fischer, and Kaitlyn Cannon are all girls Gamarra expects to have a big season for the Cardinals who have played a lot of meaningful minutes throughout their time here at North Central.

With no traditional season in 2020, Gamarra sees this season as  having two freshman recruiting classes in one. "I almost see it as two-fold because the girls that were here last year did not have a full season," said Gamarra.

Gamarra is excited about the young group of girls that are here at North Central that are going to help the Cardinals compete for a CCIW Conference Championship. 

North Central kicks off their season on the road against a tough Centre team on Saturday Sept. 4th. CCIW play will begin for the Cardinals on Sept. 25th as they will host Elmhurst University. Click HERE for the full 2021 schedule and for links to live coverage.
