Liz Theberge recently completed her second year as a member of the St. Joe's women's soccer team. Theberge, a 2007 All-Conference First Team recipient as a freshman, has helped the Lady Monks post a 29-7-4 (.806) record in her two seasons donning the Royal Blue. After netting five goals and four assists as a rookie, Theberge was asked to play a pivotal role as the center back her sophomore year and anchored an SJC defense that allowed 1.42 goals per game and posted 10 shutouts.

Coach Michael Bolanz '00 on Liz:

"Liz is a great contributor to this team. She is a versatile player who came up big for us this past season when we asked her to play in the back. She is a strong, tough player who defends well and is able to distribute the ball as we get into our attack. She is a valuable member of this team and we look forward to having her for the next two years."

Why did you choose Saint Joseph's College?

I chose Saint Joseph's college because I really liked the soccer team and it seemed like a good fit. Also, it is a small school and it is two hours from my house so that is far enough where I am on my own, but close enough where I can go home for a weekend.

My first job was working at Cherry Farm Creamery, which is an ice cream place in my town.

My mother

Can you tell us something about you that most people don't know?

What is your ideal day away from soccer?

I like to go to the mall with some friends and relax.

Will you play soccer after your college days are over?

What is the best part of being a member of the women's soccer team?

The chance to play soccer at the college level, along with the chemistry of the team, and the fun I have on and off the field with this group of girls.
