McPherson Women's Soccer Signs Wichita
Riot Goal Keeper:
McPherson College has announced the recent signing of Sarah Goldsmith of
Augusta, Kan., to a soccer letter of intent for the 2008-2009 school year.
The 5'8” Goldsmith was named to the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail D-III first team in 2006. Three-year letter winner
in soccer, twice in tennis, and once in softball, Sarah was named the Most Valuable Performer for the Orioles of Augusta High
School and coach Monty Rowland.
“I feel that Sarah's going to be a quality addition to our young program next fall,” said McPherson College
women's soccer coach Robert Talley. “She has the desire to be successful and the determination to fight for the starting
position in the goal.”
“Sarah is my diamond in the rough. She has a great read for the game and soft hands, which is what every coach wants
from their keepers. I feel there are only a couple of things we need to adjust in her technique. She has the potential to
improve dramatically in next four years.”
“I worried this past fall about only having one goalkeeper, because of the fear of injury. Fortunately, (freshman
All-KCAC keeper) Andrea (Swanson) stayed healthy for most of the season and we weren't put in the situation of using a field
player (in goal).”
Goldsmith also plans to play tennis for the Lady Bulldogs and coach Dan Leddy at McPherson College.
Sarah placed 10 th in the Class 4-1A state girls' tennis tournament this past fall.
Playing two sports was one of the reasons Goldsmith signed to play and continue her education at McPherson College. “If
it (playing tennis) were to change, I might also play softball.”
Sarah is the daughter of Audry Goldsmith of Augusta , Kan. She plans to major in physical education. Sarah is the daughter
