FULTON, MS – Coach Mike Sullivan has announced the 2013 Itawamba Community College soccer schedules. The Lady Indians will play 17 regular season matches with eight matches scheduled to be played at the ICC Soccer Complex on the Fulton campus and nine on the road.
ICC will play nine Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) matches. The Lady Indians will open the season at home against Delta State University on August 26 while the Indians will open the season on August 28 when they host Meridian Community College in the season's first doubleheader.
"We are excited about the upcoming season," said Sullivan. "We've got two very eager and we think talented squads coming in and we are looking forward to a big year and hopefully some big things."
The Lady Indians finished second in the North Division and lost in the semifinals of the 2012 MACJC State Tournament in double overtime, 1-0, to state runner-up Jones County Junior College.
Sophomores Amber Carruth (Amory), Sarah Hern (Columbus) and Olivia Heine (Madison) have been elected team captains for the upcoming season.
"Our signing class was great and returning players looking good," Sullivan said. "We are hoping from more big things out of them. We think we have a chance to make some noise which is big because this year the women's North Division champion gets to host the state tournament."
