GIRLS’ SOCCER 1994-1995: SOCCER PREVIEW : Six Teams to Watch : Santa Margarita

Coach: Chuck Morales (first year).

1993-94: 16-6-2, 12-1-1 in the Sea View League; lost to Capistrano Valley, 2-0, in the first round of the Division I playoffs.

Key returners: Chrissy Anderson, defender, Jr.; Ami Aylor, midfielder, So.; Beth Brown, defender, Sr.; Erica DeVitis, midfielder, Sr.; Kenzie Katibian, midfielder, Jr.; Meagan Lingo, midfielder, Jr.; Annie Luke, forward, Jr.; Erin McIntyre, defender, So.; Riki-Ann Serrins, goalkeeper, So.; Claire Wels, defender, Jr.; Krista Widner, midfielder, Sr.; Maresa Zanetti, defender, So.

Key newcomers: Erin Beattie, defender, Jr.; Elizabeth Brooks, defender, Sr.; Crishon Preja, forward, So.; Kristen Rowe, forward, So.

Outlook: Morales, a longtime Mission Viejo boys’ club coach, inherits a loaded roster. DeVitis, a first-team All-Division I selection, is one of the finest midfielders in the county and Brown is a solid defender. Behind Brown in the goal is Serrins, who is keeper for the regional Olympic Development team. Rowe is showing a lot of promise up front. “We’re not No. 1 by any means,” Morales said. “We have a lot of work to do.”
