2010 preview: forwards < Perhaps the strongest position for the Lady Tigers, Ashley Berra leads the cast of returning forwards in 2010. The senior forward became the program’s first All-American after a 15 goal eight assist campaign in 2009. Berra climbed into the top-five among career record holders with the break-out season and is poised to claim the top spot with a productive campaign in 2010. Senior Amanda Olszewski was a key reserve for the 2009 C-USA Champions and is expected to see playing time for the Lady Tigers. With a four goal, two assist season, Olszewski is a proven asset for the front line. Hampered by an ankle injury during last season, junior Lizzy Simonin, the 2008 C-USA Freshman of the Year, will look to regain her brilliant form from 2008 on the front line for the Lady Tigers. Also returning from injury will be redshirt junior Melissa Smith, who dazzled Evansville with 10 shots on Sept. 20. C-USA All-Freshman team selections Averi Hallman and Taylor Isenhower will build upon strong freshman campaigns last season and provide a spark of speed and finesse to the forwards. Hallman finished the season with two goals and seven assists while Isenhower posted six goals and three assists in 2009. Freshmen Rasheeda Ansari and Emmaleigh Davis will look to have impact seasons as freshmen. Ansari boasts tremendous speed and athletic ability that will give opponents fits while Davis is a versatile athlete who could see playing time at forward or defender. ashley berra < lizzy simonin < amanda olszewski <
