The Eastern Nazarene College women's soccer team is coming off of its fifth consecutive trip to the Commonwealth Coast Conference Tournament after finishing the 2015 season with a 5-9-3 overall record and a 2-5-2 mark in league play.

The Lions, who were tabbed ninth in the Commonwealth Coast Conference Preseason Poll, kick off the 2016 campaign September 1 at home against Lesley. Eastern Nazarene's first league tilt is slated for September 10 against Endicott.

A dozen veterans return and are joined by eight newcomers for the 2016 season.

Junior Kelly Couite (West Bridgewater, Mass.) ranked second on the squad a year ago with 18 points, netting eight goals and dishing out a pair of assists.
