MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee Soccer finished its Spring Season last month, going unbeaten across its five friendly fixtures while building a foundation and identity for the upcoming 2023 campaign.
Each player reaped the benefits of practice and match reps earned across the spring season. A large class of freshmen from the 2022 season, combined with four key pieces returning this fall as graduate students created a culture of competition all spring. That competition allowed the team to grow as a collective unit and accumulate chemistry. Goalkeeper Hannah Suder, defender Caroline Manley, and forwards Cambell Kivisto and Elizabeth Slavinsky—the Blue Raiders' four grad students in 2023, continued their roles as leaders.
