About the Skyhawks
The Skyhawks have a new look this season under first year head coach Jimmy Hall.  Hall, who was a member of the men's soccer team from 2000-03, served as the Skyhawks women's soccer assistant coach the past three years.  On the field, the Skyhawks lost eight returning starters from last season and have 12 freshman (plus five redshirt freshman).

Fort Lewis is coming off a 16-6-0 season that saw them make their fifth NCAA Tournament appearance.  The lone "senior" on the team is Shea Haycock.  Haycock, who has one year of eligibility remaining, will graduate from Fort Lewis this December.

FLC, which was picked fourth overall in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason poll by the league's head coaches, was ranked 24th in the NSCAA preseason poll.  After a 1-0-1 opening weekend, the Skyhawks dropped out of the top 25 but did receive votes in the poll.
