Black Bears Bolster Roster for Title Push | Bangor News

The University of Maine women’s soccer team is poised for another championship run, bolstered by six dynamic freshmen and two standout transfers joining a veteran squad that’s won three straight America East titles. Coach Scott Atherley, in his nearly 30-year tenure, raves about the newcomers’ athleticism, intelligence, and hunger to compete — saying they’ll thrive without the pressure of expectation. Transfers Sandrine Brault and Isabella Meadows have already made waves in spring drills, bringing speed, control, and playmaking prowess. Freshmen like Ashley Kraemer (tenacious, sister of past stars), Hannah Wehmeyer (visionary passer), Juliane Belanger (polished striker), and Jenna McIntyre (physical defender) add depth, while two new goalkeepers are ready to battle. With a stacked roster and championship pedigree, the Black Bears hit the road August 12th against Rhode Island — aiming to keep their winning streak alive.
