New Jersey (Tuesday, January 10, 2012) - The New Jersey Wildcats announced today that FDU four-year letter winner and current FDU assistant coach Marguerite Ferrell will rejoin the Wildcats for the 2012 season.  As a freshman at FDU, she was the only first-year player to start all 18 games, picking up Brine Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week honors along the way.  In her senior season, she shifted up front after playing three seasons on the back line and the midfield, en route to another Brine NEC Player of the Week distinction.  In her senior season, she paced the squad with a team-best eight goals (17 points), receiving First Team All-Conference acclaim.  
 
Ferrell’s 45 points and 19 goals rank second all-time for FDU, while she remains in the top 10 of six offensive categories.  A two-goal performance versus Quinnipiac in 2005 landed her in a tie for most goals in a game, also propelling her into a tie for most game-winning goals in a career with five.
 
At Rahway High School, Ferrell garnered All-State and All-County honors three times.  She also earned Mountain Valley Conference First Team distinction as a senior.

“She will be very important to our team on and off the field.  Her leadership abilities will take our team to the next level, and we are pleased to have her with us again in 2012 as we begin our push for the W-League Championship," Wildcats head coach Kevin McDermott commented.

The USL W-League played its inaugural season in 1995, and it is recognized as the premiere development league for female players in North America. The schedule is set to open next May and commence in August.
