Cabrini College women’s soccer has had a rough start to their season. Now, with only two games left, they have a chance of clenching their spot in the playoffs. The Lady Cavs’ two senior captains, Nicole Niedermeier and Christine Kedra, are ready to make every contribution to bring the team to the top. Both being from Philadelphia, they were rivals in high school, now coming together to lead their team to victory. The following is an interview done with these star players as they finish out their final season as Cavaliers.

Niedermeier: Since I was six years old.
Kedra: Since I was five.
What position do you play?
Kedra: halfback or fullback
Niedermeier: sweeper
What made you start playing soccer?
Kedra: I’ve been playing for 16 years. My parents signed me up
for indoor soccer when I was little and I have been playing ever
since.
Niedermeier: I started because I seemed to like it and I seemed
okay at it.
What are your goals for the rest of your time at
Cabrini, both academically and athletically?

letically and with two games left, we still have hope for the play-

want to win our last games and hopefully still be in a playoff game.
How many goals and assists do you have?

but I have been named All PAC player every year since my sopho-
more year.

I hope the team finishes the season feeling proud of themselves.
