United Quest Blue '85 Athena (U-13) - 1998-1999 Season -

This page was last updated on October 24, 1999.

Team History:

The United Quest Blue '85 Athena is a girls "select" soccer team that consists of players ages 12-13 from Acworth, Canton, Kennesaw, Marietta and Woodstock. Our team plays in the Georgia Youth Soccer Association U-13 (under 13 in age as of July 31, 1998) Athena "C" division.

Our team was born during the United Soccer Club girls "select team" (Athena) tryouts following the 1996-1997 season. United had fielded two U-11 Athena teams during the 1996-1997 season. The tryouts drew enough talented girls to form a third team for the 1997-1998 U-12 season, which became the U-12 United Quest Blue '85 Athena.

As a brand new team, the U-12 United Quest Blue started in the lowest Athena division, called the "D" division. The Quest finished in 2nd place (spring 1998) to earn promotion to the tougher "C" division for the U-13 year. The U-13 United Quest Blue did it again, finishing in 2nd place (spring 1999) to earn promotion to the still tougher "B" division for the upcoming U-14 year.

Our "sister" teams are the United Quest Red '85 Athena and the United Quest White '85 Athena, both of which played in the Georgia U-13 Athena "A" division last season.

Roster news: We've had a record four roster changes during the Fall 1998 season:

• Just before the season started, Charlsey Thornton was selected to move up to the United Quest White team! Charlsey was a stand-out player for us since she joined the team last year. We'll miss her, but we're glad to see her get the opportunity to move up the ladder.

• Amy Summerlin joined our team the week of our 1st game. Amy recently moved to Marietta from Massachusetts, where she had been a select team player. Amy proved her worth so quickly that she was selected to move up to the United Quest White team after our 5th game. Congratulations and good luck Amy!

• We were sorry to say goodbye to Amelia Marsh, who moved to Pennsylvania after our 2nd game. Amelia was one of the team's original members and developed into a good all-around player and an excellent passer. We'll miss you, Amelia!

• We added Meghan Boulware to our team before our 7th game. Meghan had been playing at United for the U-14 Unicorns. Meghan showed her worth quickly by scoring a goal and getting an assist in her third game. Welcome, Meghan!

• Looks like more roster changes are coming for the Spring 1999 season. Brittany Davidson and Lee Maree Fazzio have decided to retire from competitive soccer. Brittany and Lee Maree were solid defenders who always gave 100% effort. And Lee Maree has a special place in United Quest Blue history: she scored our team's first goal on a 30-yard volley against the Rome Arsenal back in September, 1997. We'll miss you, Brittany and Lee Maree!

• We added Nisha Desai to our team just before the start of the Spring 1999 season. Nisha was on our team when we were in the U-12 age group during the 1997-1998 season. Welcome back, Nisha!

Quiz: One of these "women" plays on our team. Who is she? And which one is she? (You can click on the picture to see a full-size version.)
