Bronx, N.Y. – (August 14, 2023) – The Fordham women's soccer team announced today that seniors
Cambrie Arboreen and
Olivia Redden and junior
Abby Doyle will serve as the team's captains for the 2023 seasons.
This is the second straight season that Arboreen will wear the captain's armband, after doing so a year ago. A three-year member of the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll, she found the scoresheet for the first time in her career in 2022, netting a goal in Fordham's win over Rhode Island.
Redden has been a staple on the Rams' backline since joining the team in 2020. She has started 30 of the 32 games she has appeared in over her first three seasons, playing almost 2,600 minutes to go with a pair of assists. A three-year member of the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll, she set career-highs in games played (15), games started (14), and minutes played (1,166).
Doyle had an immediate impact on the Rams' midfield in 2022, after transferring from Army West Point. She was one of three Rams to start all 17 games last season, playing a team-high 1,489 minutes. She was also selected as the team's MVP after netting a goal and an assist, while being named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll.
Additionally, the Atlantic 10 Conference released its preseason coaches' poll this afternoon, where Fordham finished ninth in the poll.
The Rams look to secure a spot in the Atlantic 10 Championship for the first time since 2019. That journey begins on Thursday, August 17
th, as the Rams open the 2023 regular season at Drexel with game time slated for 7:00 PM.
