Among them, the selections combined for 80 points, including 8 game winning goals, to help the Knights to an impressive 14-3-3 overall record in the 2007 season and reach the Freedom Championship title game where they lost the 4-3 overtime battle to Manhattanville College.
Leading the way for the Knights this season was junior Sam Calhoun, whose 20 points led the squad. Calhoun recieved Freedom Player of the Week honors back on October 1 and tallied a team leading 11 goals for the Knights. As a first year, Janelle Jablonski erupted for 22 points (9 goals, 4 assists) and 3 game winners, including the overtime winner against Wilkes to help the Knights clinch the #2 seed for Freedom playoffs and the game tying goal against the Valiants in the title game.
Katie O'Malley, AU's other first year recognized, posted a dozen points (5 goals, 2 assists) including back-to-back tallies in the title game. Senior Kaitlyn Adams anchored a strong defense for the Knights in 2007 and saved her most impressive performance for the Freedom title game where she punted nearly every Valiant attempt away in the Knight's second half comeback effort. She finished the season with one assist.
Senior Stephanie Bates contributed 16 points, third highest on the team, in 2007. Her two game winners and sheer hustle to beat opponents to the ball helped her to a Freedom Player of the Week nod back on September 17.
Manhattanville Takes Freedom Title
Purchase, NY - 11/03/07: [Results] Arcadia Women's Soccer put forth a championship performance on a cold and blustery afternoon in Purchase, NY, but a bad break for the Knights in the 94th minute gave host Manhattanville College a 4-3 overtime win and the program's first Freedom Conference Championship title. This was the third straight overtime affair for Arcadia, who drops to 14-4-3 overall with the loss.
With possession of the ball three minutes into extra minutes, on a routine play, Arcadia intelligently played the ball back, rather than through a very congested midfield. But a bad hop carried the ball deep into the box where senior keeper Michelle Leone raced out to stop oncoming Valiant junior Lisa Rill from getting off the shot. The two collided and the ball popped loose to Manhattanville first year Carey Hickey as Leone and her defenders raced back to block the front of the net. That's when Hickey placed the loose ball under the crossbar in the 94th minute to end a resiliant comeback effort from the Knights of Arcadia to give the Valiants the title on their home turf and a spot in the NCAA Division III Tournament which begins on Wednesday.
The Valiants found the score board in the 7th minute on an own goal off a Kathryn Moore corner service. With strong winds whipping across the field, Moore sent one into the box with the wind at her back and the ball went off the chest of a Knight defender and into the net. Manhattanville's added their second in the 22nd minute only this time off a set play. Moore once again played the corner towards the far post and junior Dawn Belonick appeared in the box to deflected it into the net for a 2-0 Valiant advantage. The Knights, out-shooting the host school 10-4 in the first half failed to convert on three good scoring opportunities, including a header off the cross bar from Stephanie Bates, in the opening stanza to settle for a 2-0 halftime deficit.
With the scoreboard reflective of thier first meeting of the season, a 2-0 loss on the same field, the Knights came out destined to find some of their league leading offense, and it came quickly. Down 2-0 in the 67th minute, first year Katie O'Malley absolutely crushed a low shot on a free kick from just outside the box that blasted the twine, cutting the Valiants lead to 2-1. But not even a minute later, Manhattanville's Holly Nonis delivered on a scramble in front of the Arcadia goal to give her team the 2 goal advantage.
Now down 3-1, the Knights played aggressive on both ends and were rewarded favorably for their efforts. Less than three minutes removed from Nonis' marker, O'Malley answered with her second of the day, a rocket from the top of the box, to put her Knights within a goal, 3-2. Arcadia completed the lightning-fast comeback exactly five minutes after their first goal, when speedy first year Janelle Jablonski broke loose toward the box and sent the ball spinning in on and past Valiant keeper Ali Bromson to cap off a 3 goal comeback in five minutes and more importantly, tie the game at 3-3.
Arcadia continued to dominate play for the remainder of regulation as the backfield trio of Danielle Discher, Kaitlyn Adams and Erin Metz cleared out nearly every Valiant attempt at a scoring chance, with the Knights posting a few near misses on what would have been the go-ahead tally.
In the opening minutes of overtime play, Arcadia had a textbook scoring chance called back on an offside call, and wouldn't get another chance before Hickey's shot ended the contest.
Arcadia outshot the home team 19-8, forcing Bromson to make 8 stops while Leone tallied two saves in the championship match. While O'Malley's two goals and Jablonski's game tying marker provided all of the Knight's offense, Arcadia was also aided by a phenomenal performace from the backfield trio and Kat Kraemer, Patty Robb, Stephanie Bates, Jamie Bradford and Sam Calhoun.
At 14-3-3 overall, Arcadia will wait for a possible at-large bid to the NCAA Division III tournament, scheduled to be announced Monday at 9:00 a.m. First round NCAA Tournament matches will be held Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

Knights Triumphant in Shootout; First Year Members Arcadia and Manhattanville to Vie for Title
Glenside, PA - 10/30/07: [Results] Arcadia University Women's Soccer found themselves in a barnburner with the Colonels of Wilkes University this afternoon in Freedom Conference semifinal round action, pulling off the dramatic 3-2 advantage in penalty kicks to advance to the school's first Freedom Conference championship game this Saturday, November 3, at Manhattanville College. Both Arcadia and Manhattanville joined the Freedom Conference in August, 2007.
Arcadia and Wilkes were quite familiar with each other having met this past Sunday with Arcadia stealing the game in overtime at Wilkes, 2-1. But on this afternoon, the game remained scoreless after two overtime periods and more and more passer-bys found themselves now fans drawn into the best of five shootout.
Appropriately so, it came down to Arcadia's final chance with PK's knotted at 2 apeice and perhaps even more appropriate, one of the team's seven seniors stepped up for the shot. Senior Kat Kraemer, a member of the 2005 PAC Championship team, crushed the ball past Wilkes keeper Liz Pauly and a frenzied pileup of players and fans ensued on the field as this senior class will vie for their second conference championship and the school's first Freedom Conference championship rights on Saturday.
Wilkes did an excellent job of controlling possession for much of the first half despite Arcadia's edge in scoring attempts 9-5. First year Janelle Jablonski, who ended Sunday's double overtime game before a shootout was necessary, found herself with two early scoring chances in the first half, one which sailed wide, and her second which rang off the short post. From that point on, Jablonski was covered by two defenders when Arcadia threatened on the attack.
For the remainder of the half, the Colonels blocked the midfield and used double teams to prevent Arcadia from setting up much offense and the two teams went into the half at a 0-0 stalemate.
The second half was anyone's game and each team had their chances to get on the board, the first by Wilkes Ashley Deemie, whose rising shot was punched away by the leaping Arcadia keeper Michelle Leone at 32:40. The Knights answered with the games next best scoring attempt at 15:02 as senior Stephanie Bates beat her defender for a one-on-one shot against Pauly but her shot sailed high over the crossbar to silence the home crowd. One more decent chance by Wilkes occured with less than four minutes to play as Julissa Reed's one timer was stopped by Leone, but the rebound was corralled by Katilyn Swales but surprisingly sent wide.
The two overtime stanzas came and went with the Knights notching the only shots of the extra periods leaving the shootout to determine who would advance to play for the title.
Wilkes' Bethany Head found the low corner to give the Colonels a 1-0 edge which they held as Arcadia's Danielle Dishcer missed her chance to even the score. Wilkes' Kelly Knox sent her try wide and the Knights answered on Katie O'Malley's rocket to knot the score at 1-1.
Wilkes missed their next two while Arcadia's Kaitlyn Adams put the Knights ahead, 2-1, before Brittany Ely netted Wilkes final attempt giving the home team one final shot to advance before the game would move into sudden death PKs.
As senior Kat Kraemer stepped up for the shot, Pauly stayed big but couldn't get high enough to block the ball down as the ball sailed into the net along with a dagger into the Colonel's season.
Arcadia will travel to and face #1 Manhattanville, who defeated #4 Delaware Valley, 2-0 in today's other semifinal round game. The Valiants handed the Knights their only conference loss this season, in Manhattanville by a 2-0 score. This will be Manhattanville's first Freedom Confernence championship try.
Leone finished with 7 stops for her eigth shutout of the season while Pauly made 13 saves for Wilkes. The Knights held a 19-11 advantage in shots while Wilkes managed 4 corner attempts to the Knight's 3. Wilkes concludes a successful 2007 campaign with an overall record of 9-9-1, while 14-2-3 Arcadia will try to add to their win column against the Valiants.

/> Jablonski's game winner spun toward the back post as the wind and help from Wilkes keeper Liz Pauly glove flicked the ball onwards into the net to give Arcadia their first overtime win of the season.

Knights Slip Three Past FDU-Florham in Freedom Showdown
Glenside, PA - 10/24/07: [Results] The rain rarely ceased but the Knights went on to strike three times against a tough FDU-Florham squad in this afternoon's Freedom Conference game. Senior Stephanie Bates struck first followed by juniors Jamie Bradford and Sammie Calhoun to help senior keeper Michelle Leone preserve the 3-0 shutout in the Knights third straight win.
Arcadia (13-2-2/3-1-1) positioned themselves nicely in the conference standings with today's win as Wilkes fell to 4-1 with a 1-0 loss to Mahattanville, who takes over the top spot. Mahattanville (5-0), Wilkes (4-1), Arcadia (3-1-1) and DeSales (2-4) own the top four slots with one more conference game for each on Saturday.
The slick conditions started early and continued on through game's end and despite continuous second half pressure from FDU, the Knights seemed to find a way to get in the way of the Red Devils after connecting for their three scores in the first half.
Near the thirty minute mark Erin Metz slid a lateral pass to Stephanie Bates who took the ball around FDU keeper Amanda Buyes and put it far side for the 1-0 lead. Bates would ensure Arcadia's next score with her pass to Jamie Bradford who chipped a quick shot over Buyes giving the Knights the 2-0 lead. Arcadia never let up and connected once again with under five minutes in the half on a quick play between Janelle Jablonski and Sammie Calhoun. Jablonski's through ball found Calhoun running to goal, with Buyes going left, Calhoun poked it right for the Knights 3-0 lead.
The second half saw chances for each quad and a slippery ball caused three missed opportunities for Arcadia but with everyone responding, the Knights preserved a big conference win. Their third shutout in three games give keeper Leone shutout number 7 as she stopped seven Red Devil scoring chances.
Arcadia travels to Wilkes University on Saturday. A win at Wilkes would give the Knights a 2nd place finish, the higher seed and their home field for the semi-finals on October 31.

With the recent move to the Freedom Conference, the Knights are hoping to make a big impact this season and beyond. “We’ve made a considerable move to improve the program during this transitional period” said head coach Rick Brownell, “and we’re very excited at the prospects of a successful season.”
Returning players leading the team this year will be multi-year starters. Senior keeper Michelle Leone (Kingsway Regional/Swedesboro, NJ) returns to the pipes after an knee injury forced her to miss the fall 2006 season. Junior forward Sammie Calhoun (Haddon Heights/Haddon Heights, NJ) earned Second Team All PAC in 2006, and returns as the Knights top offensive threat following a 18 point sophomore campaign, while senior Patty Robb (St. Huberts/Philadelphia, PA) will help in the transition as a midfielder.
Senior Stephanie Bates (Little Flower/Philadelphia, PA) will provide versatility and quickness at both the midfield and forward position, where she picked up 6 goals and 2 assists and PAC Player of the Week honors in ’06. Junior Erin Metz (Washington Twp./Washington Twp, NJ) and senior Kaitlyn Adams (Hillsborough/Hillsborough, NJ) will provide the Knights with plenty of defensive experience in reducing the amount of shots allowed through to goal.
Seniors Kat Kraemer (Clearview/Mullica Hill, NJ), Katelyn Adams (Villa Joseph Maria/Holland, PA) and Danielle Discher (Phila HS for Girls/Philadelphia, PA) chipped in with a dozen combined points to help the Knights in their junior season and together with junior, midfielder Jamie Bradford (Vineland/Vineland, NJ) and sophomore, defender/midfielder Jackie Jeffries (Archbishop Ryan/Philadelphia, PA), this core group of returnees add to the experience this team can draw from.
Sophomore Maggie Reynolds (Boise High School/Boise, ID) will play a back-up role to starting keeper, Michelle Leone in the nets as well as providing contributions in the midfield.
The lineup is certainly deep and will allow Coach Brownell, and Assistant Coaches, Kris Anderson and ’07 alumnae Rachael Beauchenese to utilize the team’s youth on a moments notice. “With a strong group of new talent arriving, many incoming players will be called upon to provide a piece to our system,” states Brownell, “both defensively, in transition and on offense.” First years Katie O’Malley (Coatesville/Coatesville, PA), Janelle Jablonski (Orchard Park/Orchard Park, NY), and junior transfer Cassandra McLaughlin (Millersville University/Central Bucks West/Doylestown, PA) provide multiple options at the midfield/forward positions.
