Levi Nunnally was hired as the second head coach in the history of the Northwest women’s soccer program in July 2013. In his first season with Northwest, Nun-nally led the Lady Rangers to an 8-4-2 over-all finish and a 4-2-2 record in the MACJC North Division. The Lady Rangers also quali-fied for the playoffs for the first time since 2006, falling in the first round of the MACJC State Tournament to Pearl River. A 32-year-old native of Southaven, Nun-

nally spent the 2008-12 seasons as the women’s assistant coach at Young Harris College (Ga.), where the Mountain Lions went a com-bined 52-30-5 and made the playoffs twice before transitioning from junior college to a four-year college. While at YHC, Nunnally had 14 former players named to All-Region squads, two JUCO All-Americans and also had three former players go

on to play semi-pro soccer for the Dayton Dutch Lions and Knoxville Lady Force. Prior to YHC, he coached at top quality soccer camps in Colorado and Connecticut for No.1 Soccer camps and also coached summer camps in Mobile and Memphis. His coaching career began in 2007 with the McMinn United Futbol Club where he coached the U9 Girls/Boys and U10 Girls/Boys teams. Nunnally played college soccer at Itawamba where he made the NJCAA All-Region XXIII Team and was named team captain his soph-omore year. He continued his soccer career at Tennessee Wesleyan where the Bulldogs won the 2001 Appalachian Athletic Conference and Region Championship to qualify for the NAIA National Tourna-ment. He was a team captain his senior year and served as a graduate assistant for both the men’s and women’s teams in 2003-04. Nunnally received his bachelor’s in business management from Tennessee Wesleyan in 2004 and is pursuing his master’s degree in coaching and athletics administration from Concordia University.

HEAD COACH

Levi NunnallySecond Season

2014 SEASON OUTLOOK Under first-year head coach Levi Nunnally, the Northwest women’s soccer team bought in immedi-ately to new leadership and took a big step forward for the program in 2013. The Lady Rangers finished the season with an 8-4-2 overall record, the third-best win percentage in single-season school history at .607. The team placed third in the MACJC North Division and quali-fied for the state tournament for the first time since 2006 before falling to Pearl River in the first round. Now, the Lady Rangers are looking to build off last season’s success and make an even deeper postseason run. To achieve this goal, however, the team will be relying on a lot of new faces with seven starters lost from a year ago. Nine sophomores re-turn which should provide a lot of leadership. Offensively, Northwest returns its top offensive weapon from last season in forward/midfielder Hol-ly Newman. An MACJC All-State selection, Newman started in all 14 games and led the team in assists (eight), points (24) and shot-on-goal percentage (.824) and tied for the team lead with eight goals. She will need to be as efficient this season if North-west wants to make a return trip to the playoffs. Another offensive option is sophomore Taylor Renth, who played in 12 of 14 games last year, seven starts, and scored three goals and added an assist for seven points. As for the remainder of the offense, Nunnally expects to see several freshmen step up in start-ing roles, especially up front. Three particular fresh-men that could lead the front attack are Abigail Mo-rales, Tristan Kitchens and Jameka Barr. “We don’t have a lot of returners that I think will play up top,” Nunnally said. “But, I think each of those three players bring a different aspect to the game, as far as speed and skill-wise. They’re tena-cious to get after it and work hard. I’m looking for-ward to seeing these three players in a combination

of different areas on the field.” Defensively, the Rangers return starters Sidney Bond, Breanna Kitchens and Jessica Thompson who helped Northwest to a pair of shutouts and op-ponents to a .129 shot percentage for the season. After losing both goalkeepers in Ashlee Rogers and Morgan Wilson, Northwest finds itself with only one keeper on the roster in Horn Lake High product Ashley Nelson. Although she will be starting as a true freshman, Nunnally is expecting big things for her. “She moves well,” Nunnally said. “I think she judg-es the ball well and she has good hands. A key for her in the keeper position is that she takes her own goal kicks and can put them out there at a pretty good distance. I’m extremely pleased with her and I think she will do a great job for us.” As for how the rest of the team looks, at this point, Nunnally says he will have to get a better look at his incoming freshman class during preseason before he can gauge who else will start and what positions they will be in. “There are some freshmen that are going to come in and do very well,” Nunnally said. “At the same time, I believe that the entire freshman class is a solid group. It’s going to be difficult for me to choose who is going to start or where the minutes are going to come from. I’d like to think that we will be fairly deep, and I think it will be a contribution from everybody across the board. The girls are go-ing to have to really battle for their positions and they’re going to have to work hard in order to get their minutes and break into the starting roster.” Looking to the 2014 slate, the Lady Rangers will split their first four division matches at home and on the road, with Northwest hosting Hinds and East Central, while traveling to Itawamba and Holmes. The team will then break from division play to host St. Charles and Eastern Oklahoma State in the

NWCC Tournament on Sept. 27-28. From there, the Lady Rangers will face their four division opponents again, while also hosting non-division opponent Jones County and traveling to Gulf Coast to close the season. “We have gotten better as a team,” Nunnally said. “At the same time, I expect that everyone in our division has gotten better as well. Every team has added players, and I think that the north division as a whole will be a tough few games. I think the division is up for grabs for anybody, and I want our players to look at each game as an opportunity to showcase what Northwest soccer is about.”
