Martin Methodist kicked off its 2013 season last Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Campbellsville University (Ky.) Saturday afternoon in Pulaski, Tenn. Taylor Samsel scored a pair of goals and Jennifer Loewen knocked in the third. The Redhawks has a new look in their roster compared to what Davenport faced a year ago. Loewen was moved up front from midway through the 2012 season while adding Lauren Badalamente to the mix. Badalamente is a native of Woodhaven, Mich., who transferred to Martin Methodist from Schoolcraft College. The Redhawks also went through a facelift in the goalkeeping department, adding Aisling Dyer and Jhani Williams into the back.
