Jeannine Molleda, from Clifton, Virginia, is a member of the 2014 Hofstra Women's Soccer team.

Six of Hofstra's top-10 scorers are back for head coach Simon Riddiough's ninth season. Riddiough, who has never had a losing season since taking the helm, has 12 players on the roster who were members of the 2012 CAA championship team that earned Hofstra its fourth-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Last year's squad defeated UNC Wilmington in the conference tournament's quarterfinal round, giving Hofstra a playoff-tested group that has included three straight CAA Tournament qualifications for six of the Pride's seven seniors.

Seven freshmen will be in the mix for both starting spots and valuable reserve roles. The new faces will not get much of a grace period as Hofstra is set to face three opponents that finished 2013 ranked in the national top-20 before October.

The 2014 Hofstra Women's Soccer team will begin its season on Friday, Aug. 22 when it faces UConn at 7 p.m.
