CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seniors Cathryn Folkestad (IPSWICH, Mass./Ipswich) and Jodi Fralick (WOBURN, Mass./Woburn) have been chosen to play in the New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl, a final day of competition for some of the best senior women’s soccer players from across all divisions of the NCAA.

The match will be played on Sunday, December 6 at 12:00 pm at Rivier College’s brand new turf field.

Folkestad captained the backfield for the Lynx for four years and contributed greatly on the offensive end as well. Folkestad tallied 14 points, five goals and four assists, in her senior season. For her career, the defender compiled 17 goals and 14 assists and her backfield allowed 1.6 goals per game. In her final three seasons, a much improved Lesley squad allowed just 0.9 goals per game.

Fralick finishes her Lesley soccer career as the greatest goal scorer the program has ever seen. On Senior Day against Bay Path College Fralick scored her 100th career goal, a feat accomplished by only 14 other NCAA Division III women’s soccer players. For her career, the forward compiled 103 goals and 24 assists for a total of 230 points.

Both Folkestad and Fralick were named to the New England Collegiate Conference All-Conference First Team this past season with Fralick taking Player of the Year honors.
