Classes are not the only thing that begin at Hollins University on Wednesday, September 1. The Hollins University soccer team opens its season that afternoon as it welcomes Salem College to Moody Field at 4:00 p.m. The game will mark the end of a long preseason that the players and coaches are ready to move beyond. Progress has been steady, and although Hollins was on the wrong side of the score sheet for both of its scrimmages, the coaching staff believes that the players have taken what they need from those experiences. At the core of the team's challenge has been learning a new system of play which most of the players have not played before. Nevertheless, coach Landon Moore feels confident: "We have a lot of new players, but this is a new system even for the returners, so we have spent a lot of time teaching the tactical side of things. Carrie, Annie, and I feel like the team has a good understanding after our two scrimmages, and we are excited to see what the girls can do in a live game."
