CENTRAL BUCKS EAST GIRLS’ LACROSSE PREVIEW

Coach:  Kelly White, 2nd Year as Head Coach

Assistant coaches:  Amy Weber, Chrissy Mongiori, and Lauren Distler

Last year’s record:  8-9 overall, 4-5 SOL

Strengths/Question Marks:  Strengths include working together as a team. They are a very dedicated group of players and the focus has been on being a great teammate. The girls have worked extremely hard in the offseason and bonded off the field as well. Hoping the time spent together will lead to chemistry on the playing field this season. We are a young team and our numbers are small. We need to stay healthy and injury free in order to be competitive.

Outlook: “Our Team goal is to take it game by game. The philosophy of our program is that we need to play strong non-league games in order to compete within our own league.  The focus has been and will continue to be on the basic fundamentals of the game…possession, making good passes/catching, 1v 1 challenges, disciplined defense, and playing as a unit. The girls have done an outstanding job of embracing the mindset…’every day is game day.’ A successful season will be determined by the girls being mentally strong, play/practice with intensity, and to possess the desire to win.”
