2014 Women's Soccer Team 

The 2014 NWAC Champion Trojan Women’s soccer team was a product of success after four straight previous seasons of advancing to the NWAC playoffs. The 20 win season is not only the most in program history, it's also one of only 14 teams in the history of the NWAC to eclipse the 20 win mark in a single season.

The team started out the season 5-0 and conceded only one goal before losing the first game of the season to Highline, the eventual west region co-champions.  EvCC would only lose one more game the rest of the season and it was to Trinity Lutheran College, who competed at the NAIA level.   

The Trojans rolled through the west region crossover portion of the schedule at 6-1 and outscored opponents 32-2.  Everett looked even better through north region play, going undefeated and posting 6 shutouts, winning the north region title for the 4th time in program history.   

In the playoffs, EvCC still had plenty of offensive firepower, defeating Bellevue 3-0 and East Region Champions, Spokane 3-2.  They would meet #1 ranked and Co-West Region Champion Peninsula in the NWAC Championship game at Starfire Stadium.  After a scoreless 80 minutes of action, Alma Mana’o got the game's only goal, capturing the program’s first ever NWAC Championship. 

Geoff Kittle was named the north region and NWAC coach of the year while Victoria Lentz, Kelsie Neill, Emily Nelson, Mikayla Whitton, and Lauren Allison were named to the NWAC All Star Team.  Lauren Allison was also named the NWAC Tournament MVP.   

In addition to the most wins in EvCC program history the 2014 team also scored the most goals with 70.  Ten goals allowed ranks as the best defensive team in EvCC history as does the 15 shutouts.    

Members of the team include: CJ Shaver, Alma Mana’o, Matti Norton, Krista King, Rebecca Carnevale, Bailey Ellis, Bailie Weikel, Mikayla Whitton, Rachel Detroit, Ava Mana’o, Becca Andrade, Karissa Burnett, Denae Weigelt, Victoria Lentz, Ashley Simons, Nicole West, Montana Wahlberg, Kelsie Neill, Brooklyn Roberts, Emily Nelson, Lauren Allison, Ashlei Ryan, and Rachel Leupold.

Head Coach: Geoff Kittle,  Assistant Coach Erik Cruz
