Others to watch:  Cait Smith Senior Midfielder, Emily Butler Senior Defender, Annette Disipio Senior Attacker

Strengths/Question Marks:  “The Hatters are an anonymous and stingy crew that will not make things easy on their foes.  They attack and defend as a team, and several players are ready for their turn to shine.  Like many teams, the question marks are surrounding confidence and resilience.  The Hatters will need contributions from freshmen through seniors; starters and subs.”

Outlook:  “The Hatters have been focusing on the day-to-day process, maintaining good habits, building trust, and developing team rituals.  We have established a goal for each game thus far but have not had any use for a seasonal goal.  The players practice hard and compete regardless of circumstances.  We are focusing on learning, growing, supporting each other, and playing better as the season progresses.  The league is an awesome challenge with great coaches and dynamic players and we will do our best to play effective and exciting team soccer.”

GAMES TO WATCH:  Early ones include:  Unionville 8/30, Upper Dublin 9/3, and CB East 9/10 (at War Memorial Field)
