SPORTS NOTEBOOK: Women's soccer to play with limited roster


by John Fredland

Following a team vote to play the season with a short-handed roster, the Rice women's soccer club prepares to open its season tomorrow with a home game against Lamar University.

At a team meeting Sept. 2, all 13 players on the team pledged not to miss any practices or games for the duration of the season, according to senior Tassie Gnaidy.

Three club members were not present, however, at Friday's practice. Gnaidy felt their absence might be due to the Labor Day holiday.

The club was further bolstered last week by the addition of a graduate student. Her arrival increased the total players to 13, enabling the club to field a team with two substitutes.

"[Team captain Kit Kittleson] really wants to play. Some people even will play with 10 players," said Gnaidy.

"We may miss some traveling games, but we are going to play," said junior Galen McKinley. "We are still looking for players."

Saturday's game with Lamar begins at 2 p.m.
