Megan Nichols – Tupelo
Alexia Walsh - Pontotoc
Nicole Chapman
Nicole will look to win playing time up top at striker, Nicole has been out of the game for a little bit but with her speed she will be a valuable asset to the team next year. Nicole has plenty of experience as she played for TFC not long ago and should fill the void left by Anna Merritt Roberts’ graduation. I look forward to watching her grow as a player and be a contributor to the team next year.
5’6” striker from Tupelo, MS…played for Tupelo Futbol Club…plans to major in Elementary Education at ICC…is the daughter of I.J. & Donna Chapman.
Amanda Corbell, Savannah Rushing, Marrissa Senneff
Itawamba incoming freshman class continues to grow as 3 of Caledonia’s best inked the dotted line to play at ICC today. Amanda is a tough defender with good skills and field awareness; I look for her to compete immediately for time in the back next year. Savannah and Marissa will both be looking to add to a talented midfield next year both girls should bring a great work ethic to field as well their ability to play the game. The biggest thing we were missing last year was depth and with the signing of these girls we are certainly adding some great players to this team’s starting 11 as well as the depth of the team.

Marrissa Senneff
5’2” defender from Caledonia, MS… played high school soccer for Jason Forrester at Caledonia High School…plans to major in Radiology at ICC…is the daughter of Trent & Bonni Senneff.
Alexia Walsh
Alexia will look to win time in the goal next year; she comes from a great high school team and was the team leader. She has a great work ethic and is fearless in the goal, at this level one of the most important things you can have is a solid goalkeeper and she is that and more. Alexia will showcase her talents this summer in the high school all-star game in Jackson, MS.

Sara Wright
Sara transferred to us from Meridian CC at the Christmas break and was able to go through spring drills with us this year. Sara is still recovering from an injury but played very well for us in the spring. Sara has great skills and vision on the field and as soon as her full mobility returns she should be a tenacious defender for us, I look forward to her getting 100% healthy.
5’4” defender from Pontotoc, MS…played high school soccer for Marty Pettit at Pontotoc High School…transferring from Meridian Community College…is the daughter of Travis Wright.
Joscelyn Dexter & Brittany Masaro
ICC add’s yet another 2 girls to next years roster in the form of first time ever signees from Tishomingo County High School. Both these 2 girls are going to add even more strength to an already strong team. Brittany will look to earn playing time up top at the striker position. She has good size and a wicked shot, so we will look for her to help add some scoring punch for next year. Joscelyn is a very crafty defender that should bolster our back line for next year, she is good on the ball and has great field awareness, and I look for her to compete for a starting spot next year.
Joscelyn Dexter
5’10” defender from Iuka, MS…played for Lyndon Cane at Tishomingo High School…plans to major in secondary business education at ICC…is the daughter of Robert & Kathy Dexter.
Brittany Masaro
5’10” striker from Burnsville, MS…played for Lyndon Cane at Tishomingo High School…is undecided on her major at ICC…is the daughter of Tony & Shyanna Masaro.
Meagan Nichols
ICC adds a huge signee with Meagan coming here to play; she will compete immediately for the starting goalkeeper spot. Meagan has been one of the better goalkeepers in the state in both high school and select over that past few years. She is fearless in the goal and has good foot skills to go with that; she is a big pick-up for this next year. We will have the best group of goalkeepers in the state without question with our returning keeper and 2 signee keepers; defensively we should be very strong next year.
5’4” goalkeeper from Tupelo, MS…played for Shelly Miller at Tupelo High School & Corey Rose of the MS Fire…plans to major in pre-dentistry at ICC…is the daughter of Jim & Lisa Nichols.
Brandi Soper & Katelynn Barefoot
Itawamba is getting closer towards finishing a stellar recruiting class with the addition of 2 more players that have not played high school but played TFC and they are both great athletes to boot. Brandi should fit in well in the midfield next year as she has good vision of the field as well as an aggressive playing style that will fit right into the rest of the team’s style. Katelynn will look for time either in the back or at midfield; with time for her to further develop I believe she will be invaluable to the team. These 2 girls put the roster at 22 players for next year; it is going to be huge to have that kind of depth on the team, especially when everyone is going to be a valuable asset in some way to the team.
Brandi Soper
5’4” midfielder from Tupelo, MS…plans to major in pre-law here at ICC…is the daughter of Tim & Liz Soper.
Katleynn Barefoot
