Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook women's soccer coach Susan Ryan has announced that Katelyn Martin (La Mesa, Calif./Helix HS), Traci Jenkins (Satellite Beach, Fla,/Satellite HS), Melanie Archuleta (Lakewood, Colo./Lakewood HS), Jacqueline Anthony (New Brighton, Minn./Irondale HS) and Joy Gueverra (Marshfield, Mass./Marshfield HS) will play soccer for Stony Brook in the fall of 2002.

The new recruits join Cindy Bennett (Canton, Mich/Belleville HS), Lauren Kohn (Port Washington, Wisc./Port Washington HS), Victoria Feliciano (Strongsville, Ohio/Strongsville HS) and Danielle Lewis (Livonia, Mich./Livonia HS) as new Seawolves for next fall.

Martin won four letters as a back for Helix High School in La Mesa, California. During her four years, Martin won All-League honors and honorable mention All-East County recognition. Martin played her club ball for the San Diego Surf and will fill the void created by the departure of graduating Lisa Mariano and Kristin Lynch who were standout backs for Stony Brook over the last four years.

Jenkins, a two-time MVP selection as a forward, scored 114 goals in her three-year career at Satellite High School in Florida. Last fall, she helped lead her high school team to its first state soccer title in school history with a 1-0 win over St. Thomas Aquinas. Her goal in the 11th minute helped vanquish a team that had won eight state titles since 1990, including seven in a row from 1993-99, and was ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 2 in the nation. She enjoyed a tremendous senior season, scoring a team-high 56 goals to earn First Team All-Space Coast and First Team All-Cape Coast recognition. A three-time All-Space Coast selection, Jenkins played her club ball for the Force which captured last year's State Cup championship.

Anthony also starred at the forward position for four seasons at Irondale High School in New Brighton, Minn. During that time, she scored 94 goals and earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1998. The three-time All-Conference pick was a team MVP, All-Metro and All-State selection last fall.

Archuleta was a standout at Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Colorado, earning All-Conference honors as a center midfielder. In 1998, she helped lead her team to the state quarterfinals. She played her club ball for Real Colorado Elite which was the State Cup runner-up from 1997-01. While a member of the Elite, the team also won the 2001 Raleigh Shootout and the Nortel Cup Championship in 2000 and 2001.

Also joining the Seawolves next season will be Joy Gueverra. Gueverra was her team MVP last fall was an All-Scholastic selection for Marshfield High School in Marshfield, Mass. She played for the Marshfield Wave club team.
