CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College women's soccer team has added Abby Shiffler to the coaching staff as an assistant coach. Shiffler, a former standout goalkeeper at Monmouth University, will assist head coach Nate Guagliardi with the Cougars' goalkeepers and defense for the upcoming season.

A four-year starter in goal for Monmouth from 2001-04, Shiffler recorded 280 career saves to rank third on the program's all-time list. She earned all-Northeast Conference second team honors as a freshman while receiving the team's Rookie of the Year award. In 2002, Shiffler helped the Hawks advance to the finals of the NEC Tournament, where they were eliminated in a shootout by Central Connecticut State. As a junior, she ranked second in the conference in both goals-against average and save percentage.

Shiffler graduated from Monmouth in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in political science. She served as an assistant coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University-Madison in 2006, and has been a goalkeeper trainer in New Jersey and Washington, D.C., for the past three years. A native of Hershey, Penn., Shiffler currently lives in Ocean, N.J.

"Abby will be a nice addition to our team," Guagliardi said. "She has competed at a high level and was successful, and the team will benefit from working with someone with her experience."

The Cougars start the 2008 season at the American International Tournament in Springfield, Mass., on Aug. 29 against the host Yellow Jackets.
