Hurricanes' Goebel Drafted By Washington Freedom

Not certain about her future, Beverly Goebel prepped a resume for potential job interviews.

She's hoping she won't need it.

Goebel, a University of Miami soccer player, was drafted on Friday in the third round by the Washington Freedom of the Women's Professional Soccer League.

She's expecting to join U.S. national team players Abby Wambach, Briana Scurry, and Cat Witehall in Washington in the coming months to get ready for the upcoming season.

Initially, there weren't many expectations for Goebel, who graduated with a degree in sports administration from Miami in December.

"I didn't know that I was going to get drafted," said Goebel, who finished with three goals and two assists as a midfielder for the Hurricanes this season.

"I didn't even know I was on the draft list until the Freedom called me last week."

Well, she was. But Goebel didn't allow friends or family members near the computer as the draft took place online. Her mother kept sneaking peeks on her iPhone without her daughter's permission while the two played Yahtzee.

"I didn't watch the draft because I was scared. I want to play on the next level so badly, and I wasn't even sure that I would get the nod so I didn't want to be dissappointed if my name didn't come up," said Goebel, who helped Miami knock off a the eventual champion North Carolina Tar Heels on October 25th.

"I thought, if anything, I would get drafted in the sixth round, so I was really surprised."
