Wentworth Women's Soccer

Hailee Lowe was a four year Varsity goalie at Hamilton Wenham Regional, and took her team to the Massachusetts Division III State Championship in 2005. At Lesley University, her team made the biggest turnaround in Division 3 history by going from 2-15-2 to 14-4-1, along side Lani Cabral-Pini. Hailee led the Lynx to their first New England Collegiate Conference women’s soccer championship in 2009.

 

Lowe is a two-time second-team NECC all-star goalie. Her goals against average at Lesley was below one in her junior (0.55) and senior (0.96) seasons.

 

Hailee may have had an even better basketball career, scoring 1,000 points for the Lynx. She also led Lesley to win two back-to-back NECC championship titles.

Jordyn Krall, a four-year member of the University of New Hampshire women’s soccer team and a 2012 graduate of UNH, joined the women’s soccer program as a volunteer assistant coach in August 2013.

 

Krall spent 2012 as an assistant coach at Curry College in Milton, Mass. There, her responsibilities included scouting reports, recruiting, fundraising and equipment management. 

 

At UNH as a freshman with the Wildcats, Krall made 18 appearances that included nine starts. While primarily playing defense, she notched three shots on the year. As a sophomore, Krall started 13 of the 19 games she played in and recorded three points on a goal and an assist. In her third year with the program, she started 17 of 20 games and registered five points on a pair of goals and an assist. As a senior, Krall tallied three points stemming from a goal and an assist. She recorded 16 starts in the 19 games she played.

ABOUT

The philosophy of the Wentworth Institute of Technology Athletic Department is founded upon a strong belief that athletics is a very useful facet of the total educational experience provided by our institution. The department believes student-athletes will develop skills for success in life through a quality athletic program, one which provides an opportunity for the student-athlete to develop as a whole person. Student-athletes will take the intercollegiate experience gained and successfully transfer it to their chosen career when they complete their undergraduate education and leave Wentworth.

 

Given this, Wentworth places equal emphasis on its men's and women's sports with the quality of competition being very similar for both genders. The Institute supports student-athletes in their efforts to attain high levels of competitive performance and excellence by providing them with top level coaching; high quality facilities; appropriate and safe uniforms and protective equipment; and the right level of competitive opportunities against student-athletes attending similar institutions. While Wentworth places a primary emphasis on in-season or traditional competition, it encourages teams to compete in nontraditional seasons and exceptional teams and individuals to compete in post-season championships.

Lani Cabral-Pini graduated from Lesley University in 2009. Cabral-Pini, a four-year starter in the midfield for the Lynx, was a star on the pitch since 2005. Cabral-Pini recorded 23 goals, 20 assists, and 66 points over her illustrious career at Lesley. Her best season came in 2008 for a high-potent Lesley offense as the senior scored six goals and found her teammates for eight assists. She was selected for the The NEWISA Senior Bowl in 2008.

 

Cabral-Pini was awarded second team NAC, first team NAC and first team NECC during her soccer career at Lesley. She was also named their Female Athlete of the Year her senior year, excelling at Soccer, Basketball and Softball.

Bobby Desilets finished his second season as Head Coach of the Wentworth Women’s Soccer team with the team making the playoffs in both seasons.

 

During the 2012 season he served as co-head coach with Angel Ayres, who served as the program’s only head coach until stepping down to concentrate full-time on her duties as director of athletics. The Leopards finished the season with a 6-11-2 overall record and a 4-5 mark in Commonwealth Coast Conference play. Finishing sixth in the CCC, Wentworth earned its first CCC Tournament berth since 2009 and battled third-seeded Endicott to a 0-0 draw in the CCC Quarterfinals before falling, 3-1, on penalty kicks.

 

In 2013 the team finished in fifth place in the CCC with an improved record of 7-9-4. The team won its first playoff game since 2009 advancing to the semifinals where the team lost in overtime.

 

Desilets comes to Wentworth after having served as the Head Women's Soccer Coach at neighboring Newbury College for three seasons. During his time with the Nighthawks, he improved the team's record from 4-10-2 in his first season to the program's first winning season in 2011 season (8-7-1) and advanced to the New England Collegiate Conference Tournament in each season. The team's goal output increased and the number of goals allowed decreased every year.

 

Prior to arriving at Newbury Desilets spent two seasons at Lesley University where he spent the 2007 season as an assistant men's soccer coach and the 2008 season as an assistant women's soccer coach. While with the women's team, the Lynx had a program-best record of 16-3-2.

During his junior season he was named both First Team All-New England Small College Athletic Conference and Third Team All-New England. Desilets etched his name into Bowdoin's record book as he holds the program record for assists in a game with three, is third on the single-season list for goals scored (12; 2003), and sixth on the single-season list for assists (seven; 2002). Additionally, his 28 points in 2003 puts him fourth on the Polar Bears' single-season list and he ranks seventh in program history with 66 career points. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in both Economics and History from Bowdoin in 2005 and is presently pursuing a Master's degree from Northeastern University.

Desilets has been involved with the Scorpions Soccer Club in the past where he has coached the U-11 boys group and the U-18 and U-17 girls groups and is an evaluator with the Massachusetts Olympic Development Program.
