October 22, 2010
Beverly, Mass. - On Saturday afternoon, the Endicott women’s soccer team will honor the Class of 2011 as a part of Senior Day. Five seniors who have exhibited leadership, consistency, talent, and a pure love for the game will be recognized prior to the 12:00 pm match with Salve Regina at Endicott Stadium.
The Class of 2011 will be a difficult class to replace. This class has morphed from quiet, athletic, unassuming freshman into confident, courageous and refined soccer players. They have worked hard to take this program to a higher level and have left their mark at Endicott.
This year’s senior class has enjoyed much success as a part of the Endicott women’s soccer program. In their four years here, the Gulls have amassed a 56-18-4 record, earned three straight NCAA Tournament berths, and won two The Commonwealth Coast Conference (TCCC) Championships. Endicott is 41-5-1 in conference play in the past four seasons entering Saturday’s showdown with Salve Regina.

I will miss them terribly and hope they always stay connected as alums!”
