In a sport that is continually on the rise, Joanna McCaughey looks to finish her soccer career on a great note in 2005.
The game of soccer requires a lot of mental and physical focus along with the knowledge of the sport. McCaughey has been able to show these aspects of the game and will continue in her senior season here at JSU. In 2004, McCaughey recorded 17 starts for the Gamecocks. In a strong season, she led the team in goals (6), shots (37), and points (12). McCaughey is not only succesful on the field, but also in the classroom as she posted a 3.95 G.P.A. during high school.
The Chanticleer was able to get up close and personal with a great senior leader on the JSU soccer team. We found that TEAM is a strong point for McCaughey and the rest of the Gamecocks.
