Outlook  “Council Rock South is looking to be competitive in the SOL National League this season.  We have a solid group of returning players and some hardworking newcomers looking to fill the open positions on the field.  Although Julia Pero has been the backup goalkeeper for the last two years, she is playing outstanding and seems like a veteran in the back.  Co-captains Caroline McGovern and Katie Rafter have really stepped up as excellent leaders and role models for the underclassmen.”
