Southeast roundup: Redhawks add three to soccer program

The Southeast Missouri State soccer program added three more players for the upcoming season to go along with the six incoming freshmen the Redhawks signed in February.

Lauren Bozesky, Siobhan Symington and Amy Ward will join the Redhawks when they open preseason camp Aug. 5.

Bozesky played the last four seasons at Saint Louis University. She has one year of eligibility remaining due to a medical redshirt in 2008.

Bozesky, a St. Louis native, played in 44 games and made 16 starts during her SLU career. Thirty-eight of those appearances and all 16 starts came during her first two seasons when the midfielder totaled seven goals and three assists.

Bozesky, an all-state high school performer at Ursuline Academy, was limited to just six appearances due to injuries the past two seasons.

Symington comes to Southeast from Glasgow, Scotland, where she attended the University of Strathclyde and played for the Glasgow Celtics club team. The midfielder, who led the squad to the 2009 Scottish League Cup, has three more years of eligibility.

Ward, an incoming freshman, graduated from Hazelwood West High School in suburban St. Louis. The all-state midfielder helped the Wildcats to a 25-2 record and a final national ranking of No. 50 by ESPN.com this past season. She had 15 goals and 12 assists as a senior.

Softball adds transfer

The Southeast softball program has added a transfer from Boston University.

Taylor Cowan started all 57 games for the Terriers as a freshman this past season. She has three years of eligibility remaining.

Cowan served as a utility player for the Terriers, making 20 starts at first base, 35 in the outfield and two at pitcher. She batted .202 with eight doubles, three home runs and 24 RBIs. Se went 1-1 with a 1.70 ERA in 12 1/3 innings of work in the circle.

Cowan, a native of Columbia, Mo., batted .500 (5 for 10) in the America East Conference tournament as the Terriers won the title to gain an NCAA berth.

Cowan is the 11th player the Redhawks have signed for the upcoming season.
