Goldey-Beacom's 2018 Women's Soccer season preview is on line, thanks to the great work of the Lightning Studio.

Goldey-Beacom (12-5-2, 8-3-1 CACC) last season notched double figures in victories in consecutive years for the first time since 2001-02, went to the CACC Tournament a fourth straight year and tied the school record with eight conference wins. The team also hosted a conference tournament game in back-to-back seasons for the first time in team history and its eight home wins matches the school record established in 2002.

A key member back in the fold is sophomore forward Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE), who was picked CACC Rookie of the Year, second team all-region and to the CACC All-Tournament Team. An incredible athlete who teams have to game plan against, Speaks finished 38th in the country with 13 goals, 42nd with 30 points and 86th with three game-winning goals before excelling for the women's basketball team.

Speaks needs just three goals to crack the school's career top 10 list.

Senior forward Cliona Crammond (Wicklow, Ireland) also is back once again looking to make a major impact. One of four for the Lightning to start all 19 contests, she closed last season 46th in the country with four game-winning goals, 80th with six assists and 94th with 22 points in addition to making the CACC All-Tournament Team.

Crammond enters the campaign sixth in school history with 18 goals, seventh with 48 points and ninth with 12 assists.

Goldey-Beacom begins its season August 30 at home against Saint Thomas Aquinas, starting at 3:00 pm.
