LIBERTY NOTES

Parsley

SCOUTING VILLANOVA On the attack, the Wildcats are paced by senior forward Francesca Bello (3 g, 2 a, 8 pts) and junior forward Lydia Sydnor (4 g, 8 pts). Villanova ranks ninth in the country in penalty corners per game (8.17) and 38th in points per game (6.17) while averaging 2.17 goals per contest.

The defense is led by Christen Pennington, who has two goals and a defensive save to her credit. Erika Miller (1-4, 3.49 GAA, 27 saves) has seen the bulk of the time in goal for the Wildcats and 22nd-year head coach Joanie Milhous. Milhous owns 196 career victories at the helm for the Villanova field hockey program. The Wildcats finished with a 2-5 record in BIG EAST play in 2016.

SCOUTING KENT STATE The Golden Flashes have faced three ranked opponents, No. 9 Louisville, No. 14 Northwestern and No. 23 Ohio State, in the early stages of the 2017 campaign. They defeated the Buckeyes, 2-1, on Sept. 5 on the road while suffering setbacks to the Cardinals and Wildcats.

Offensively, senior Ines Delpech leads the team with three goals, while senior Jessica Nesbitt and freshman Clara Rodriguez Setó pace the squad with three assists apiece.

Kent State head coach Kathleen Wiler has utilized a pair of freshman in goal in Kylie LeBlanc and Azure Fernsler. LeBlanc holds a 1.75 goals-against-average and has made 20 saves to lead the duo. Wiler has guided the Golden Flashes to eight MAC regular-sea-son crowns in 11 years. Kent State will be looking to advance to the NCAA Tournament for a fourth straight year in 2017.

NEW ERA OF LIBERTY FIELD HOCKEY Nikki Parsley is in her first season at the helm for Liberty field hockey. Parsley spent the 2016 season as an assistant coach for the Lady Flames and the two previous seasons (2014, 2015) as an assistant at Yale.

Parsley enjoyed a successful four-year playing career at Northwestern prior to getting her start in coaching.

Parsley picked up her first career win as a head coach, last Friday at Longwood.

LADY FLAMES FIRSTS Freshman Jill Bolton recorded her career first assist and first goal, last week. The Pennsylvania native assisted on fellow freshman Victoria O’Keeffe’s first career goal, a game-winning goal, at Longwood, last Friday. On Sunday, Bolton put Liberty ahead, 2-0, on defending national champion No. 6 Delaware with a short corner goal. Sophomore defender Mallory Fortenbaugh notched her first assist of 2017 on Bolton’s marker.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PLAYERS “I feel really confident about the upcoming weekend because we have been able to learn a lot from our past games, which puts us in a very good place for the first conference game. I cannot wait to take the first step towards a BIG EAST title on Saturday.” Sophomore Midfielder Agueda Moroni

“Delaware was a tough loss, but we can only go up from the great competiton they gave us and take that into practice this week and the two games this weekend. I think the whole team is super excited going into this weekend. With our first conference game against Villanova on Saturday, we’re ready to come out with a strong win!” Freshman Defender/Midfielder Jill Bolton

ALL-CONFERENCE RETURNEESLast year, Liberty garnered five BIG EAST All-Conference selections. Returning to this year’s squad are three All-BIG EAST selections, led by 2016 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Allison Schaefer. Liberty also returns All-BIG EAST first team honoree Agueda Moroni and All-BIG EAST second team selection Abby Julius.

FIELD HOCKEY 2017 GAME NOTES

One year after joining Liberty’s staff as an assistant coach, Nikki Parsley was named the program’s second head coach on January 16, 2017.

Parsley joined Liberty’s staff as an assistant coach on May 1 in time for Liberty’s first season as a part of the BIG EAST Conference. Parsley becomes the second head coach in the history of the program, taking over for program founder Jodi Murphy, who left in December 2016.

During her first season with the Lady Flames, Parsley helped Liberty post an 8-10 record and finish in second place in the BIG EAST with a 5-2 conference mark. The Lady Flames squared off against 10 nationally ranked opponents in 2016, spotlighted by a 2-1 overtime victory against No. 20 American on Oct. 6.

Parsley helped instruct five of Liberty’s All-BIG EAST selections in 2016, including BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Allison Schaefer and BIG EAST Co-Defensive Player of the Year Serena Barr. Barr also went on to earn NFHCA Division I All-America second team honors, becoming the second All-American in program history.

“From the moment I stepped on campus, I knew there was something unbelievably special about Liberty University and its field hockey program,” commented Parsley. “I truly believe Liberty is set apart from any other institution in the country to allow the school to glorify Jesus Christ. There is absolutely no place I would rather coach at than Liberty, and I’m blessed for the opportunity to lead such a unique group of young women.”

Parsley came to Liberty after spending the 2014 and 2015 seasons as an assistant coach at Yale.

Prior to her two-year stint at Yale, Parsley concluded a standout career at Northwestern in 2014, where she earned second team All-America honors as a senior. Parsley was a four-time All-West region pick and a three-time All-Big 10 selection.

A forward/midfielder, Parsley started 76 games, totaling 33

goals and 76 points. The Wildcats went 54-27 in Parsley’s playing career, earning a share of the Big Ten championship in 2014.

Parsley also has extensive experience with USA Field Hockey, including playing for the U.S. at the Four Nations Tournament in New Zealand in April 2013. She also played on the junior national team at the Junior World Cup in Germany in August 2013, helping the U.S. to a seventh-place finish, tied for the best in the team’s history.

In January 2013, Parsley played in the Australian Youth Olympics, and in September 2012 she played in the Junior Pan American Games in Mexico. She helped the U.S. to a third-place finish at the Junior Pan Am Games, leading the team with eight goals.

Parsley has also played for the U.S. U-21 team (on a tour of England in April 2012) and the U.S. U-19 team (on a tour of Chile in April 2011).

Parsley received her B.S. in education and social policy from Northwestern in 2014. She earned Academic All-Big Ten honors three times, was on the Dean’s List three times and was also a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar.

Originally from Millford, Del., Parsley resides in Lynchburg.
