Eilman lettered three years in the midfield for the Quakers and earned Second Team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) honors each season. She totaled 12 goals and 36 points in 47 career appearances. Her 12 assists stand 10th among Guilford’s career leaders. As a senior, Eilman garnered Third Team All-South Atlantic Region recognition from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and became Guilford’s first all-region pick in four years. She graduated last May with a religious studies degree.

Eilman started her college career at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2009 before heading east to Guilford. She graduated from Westside High School in Omaha, Neb., where she was a four-year soccer letter winner. Eilman also played with the Toro Magic Soccer Club.

Lewis’ Quakers return 13 letter winners from last year’s 10-8-2 unit that won its most games since 2006 and reached the ODAC Tournament for the 20th straight season. Guilford kicks off the 2012 campaign Sept. 1-2 at the Meredith College Labor Day Classic.
