While there may not be many goalkeepers at the University of Wyoming, the ones that are present bring a diverse set of skills, backgrounds and experience levels to the Cowgirls.
“Our goalkeepers are a fun group,” head coach Colleen Corbin said. “The dynamic between all of them in a training and competitive environment has been really positive. It’s a credit to Lindsay (LaMont) our new goalkeeper coach.”
Miyuki Schoyen headlines the collection of talent in net. The captain is set to start her second season in net after transferring in from Drexel before last season.
She started and logged a combined shutout in the regular season finale at Colorado State before blanking both San Diego State and San Jose State during the Cowgirls’ Mountain West Conference Tournament run.
“Miyuki has matured a lot in the last year,” Corbin said. “She got voted captain, which I think speaks volumes about how the rest of the team views her in her role and her impact.”
Allison Collinwood will help to back up Schoyen. She arrived in Laramie this spring after a year and half at Western Wyoming Community College.
“Ally definitely had a big transition in the spring coming from the JUCO level to this level,” Corbin said.
Finley Crabtree enters her second year with the program. She redshirted last year as a true freshman out of Portland.
“Finley has a year under her belt, and she understands the environment and the level of intensity,” Corbin said.
Haley Bartel — who goes by the name “Hobbs” — rounds out the goalkeeping room. This marks her first season with Wyoming after finishing her high school career in Gilbert, Arizona.
UW will play host to Colorado School of Mines at 4 p.m. at the Madrid Sports Complex on Thursday.
