It takes a lot to become a Division I athlete. It takes even more to become a starter. And it’s almost an impossible task to become a captain and a leader of a team.
The impossible is just the everyday for Catherine Bean and Samantha Breton. Bean (Westfield) and Breton (Chicopee Comp) are two senior leaders on the Bryant women’s soccer team, looking to guide the Bulldogs to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2017-2019.
“I think both play key roles in our team for sure,” Bryant coach Andy Biggs said after a season-opening loss against Siena on Aug. 18. “We’re looking forward to having Sam back from injury in the next couple of weeks. Cate’s a captain, Sam’s a member of the leadership council.
