Published: April 13, 2021
GREENVILLE, Ill. - The 2006 edition of the Greenville College women's soccer team has returned to campus to continue the strong tradition of Panther soccer. Six starters return from the 2005 team, while 14 first-year players are a welcome addition to the squad. Among Greenville's losses from the 2005 season are senior forward Amanda Trempert (Redlands, Calif., East Valley HS) and goalkeeper Jenn Coppernoll (Janesville, Wis., HS). Trempert graduates after being named a two-time NCCAA all-American and holds Greenville College records with most career goals (45) and goals in a season (19). Returning all-conference senior defender Victoria Sievert (St. Louis, Mo., Francis Howell North HS) will look to anchor the defense while junior midfielder Natalie Lappe (Greenville, Ill., HS) will also be a major contributor in the attack for the Panthers. The sophomore class of midfielder Tiffany Sanders (Greenville, Ill., HS), defender Keely Scott (Normal, Ill., University HS) and forward Janie Hayward (St. Louis, Mo., Brentwood HS) will also look to provide immediate support for the Panthers this season. Greenville brings in a solid recruiting class of 14 new freshmen from across the country that complements the squad's previous classes of talented newcomers. Midfielders Kathleen Scherer (St. Peters, Mo., St. Dominick HS), Carly Gremillion (St. Louis, Mo., Bishop DuBourg HS) and Stormy Hatt (Trenton, Ill., Wesclin HS) will immediately contribute for the Panthers while forward Kirsten Para (McHenry, Ill., HS) and defenders Kim Reddell (Camp Verde, Ariz., HS) and Liz Marsh (Trenton, Ill., Wesclin HS) help to round out a solid incoming freshmen class. Brian McMahon is in his sixth year as head men's soccer coach and fifth year as head women's soccer coach at Greenville College. Now in his 14th year of coaching soccer, McMahon has coached in the club, high school, and collegiate settings.As a player, McMahon competed at Indiana Wesleyan University where he received NCCAA national honors. He also played overseas in England, Ireland, and North Ireland.McMahon graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. Following graduation, McMahon earned his certified chemical dependency counselor (CCDC) license while counseling juvenile delinquents in a treatment facility. In 2002, he completed a master's degree in sports psychology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.In addition to his coaching responsibilities, McMahon is the SLIAC men's soccer chair and serves on the NCAA and NSCAA central region ranking committees.Taking into account the return of six starters from the 2005 squad and the addition of 14 quality incoming freshmen, the Panthers should again be contenders for the SLIAC conference championship.
