Adirondack Lynx

2008 Adirondack Lynx Team Roster

Profile

The 2008 Adirondack Lynx will see some new faces on their roster. Matching the returners from 2007 with these new players, the Lynx are confident they have the personnel to return to the play-offs. This season the team will again compete in the North Division of the WPSL Eastern Conference. The Division includes the 2007 WPSL National Finalist New England Mutiny and Tony Dicicco's (former National and Olympic Team coach) SoccerPlus CT team. Dicicco has been tapped to coach the Boston Breakers in 2009 as the Women's pro soccer makes a return. His roster this summer will be loaded with many national team players.

The Lynx finished 2006, their inaugural campaign in the league, with a 7-3 league record (8-4 overall). In their quest for a divisional title they beat some quality sides, including the New England Mutiny (ranked #19 in the world at the time) and the Long Island Fury (currently ranked #8 in the world and the 2006 WPSL National Champions). The Lynx had set the bar high for a first year team and achieved all they had set out to do. The Lynx had a high scoring offense that averaged over 2.5 goals per game. Their defense wasn't too bad either giving up a little over 1 goal per game.

The 2007 team finished the season 6-4 and narrowly missed the play-offs. They finished the season winning 6 of their last 8. In their last four matches the team went undefeated and outscored its opponents 14-2.
