Three transfers and four freshmen join 16 returning players all hoping to improve on last year's 18-6-1 regular season record. One newcomer, sophomore Nicole Cauzillo, could make an immediate impact. Cauzillo transferred from West Virginia, where her main role was playing defense, an aspect of the game she didn't have previous experience with. "I'd never played defense before," Cauzillo said. "Playing defense has only made me a better all-around player." During the summer Cauzillo led her club team, the Michigan Hawks, to a national championship and received the Golden Boot Award for most goals scored. As a Jayhawk, Cauzillo will add depth to a team that is NEW FACES OF KANSAS SOCCER Nicole Braman — Niwot, Colo. junior forward transfer from Ohio State from Nicole Cauzillo — Northville, Mich., sophomore midfielder transfer from West Virginia Erin Ferguson — Glen Ellyn, Ill., junior goalkeeper transfer from Houston Kelsey Archuleta — Freshman defender from Littleton, Colo. returning seven of its leading scorers.

Cauzillo also earned high school accolades as the 2003 Gatorade Player of the Year in Michigan. "I am looking forward to getting back to attacking," Cauzillo said. "Last year, I was playing on a team that had an All-American so I didn't have too many chances." Coach Mark Francis said the addition of Cauzillo and the other newcomers wold raise the team's Emily Strinden — Freshman midfielder, forward from Lukin, Texas Source: Kansas Athletics Department level of talent heading into the season. "Everybody on the team will compete for a position and challenge the starters." he said. Cauzillo and the other new players hope to mesh with the senior-dominated team to repeat and improve on last year's success. Its first test will be an exhibition game on Aug. 21 against Creighton at SuperTarget Field. — Edited by Ashley Bechard KEITH: After a detour, defensive player Mangino recruited to Mount Oread is still playing catch up CONTINUED FROM 1B After the conclusion of his football season, Keith left the football program and the University of Minnesota because he said it had become "too hard" for him to deal with, he said. After taking a semester off, Keith landed at Minnesota-West. A graduate assistant at Minnesota had taken the job at Minnesota-West and told Keith he could help him get back to school. Keith took up the challenge and prepared himself for another season of football. "Seeing that I'm a hard worker, there's a lot I can get done." Charlton Keith Junior defensive end Mangino recruited Keith during the fall, and Keith signed a letter of intent in the spring. Because of the semester he took off, his ability to play was held in question until he was able to make up the credits he missed. Over the summer, Keith devoted most of his time to class work and was unable to keep up with a strict of a training regimen as Mangino and the rest of the coaching staff would have liked. While he is still under weight and has not maintained his muscles as much as the team would like, he is determined to get into position to compete. What will Keith be doing on Opening Day when the team hits the field? "Seeing that I'm a hard worker, there's a lot I can get done," Keith said. - Edited by Ryan Greene "We Stand Behind Our Work,and WE CARE!"
