DURHAM, N.H. – In 2008, the University of New Hampshire women’s soccer program will look to extend the league’s longest active America East Championship tournament appearance streak to eight straight seasons, while also finding a spot in the semifinals for a seventh consecutive campaign. UNH, which was recently selected second in the America East preseason coaches poll, has its sights set higher, however, after constantly knocking on the door and playing host to last season’s championship game, the Wildcats have raised the bar and are gunning for nothing less than their first ever America East title and a berth into the NCAA tournament. After losing six talented seniors, the road – as always – will be a tough one, but with 15 members of the 2007 team returning and seven skilled newcomers arriving in Durham, head coach Michael Jackson and his staff are as confident as ever that their 2008 squad will finally break down the door and reach its goal.
