NORTH PENN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Maggie deMarteleiere (seventh year)

Last year’s record:  12-2 SOL Continental Conference co-champions, 24-6 overall

Notable losses:  Lauren Crisler (American University)

Key returners:  Bri Cullen (5-7, Sr., Guard), Erin Maher (6-0, Sr., Guard/Forward), Vicky Tumasz (5-6, Guard), Mikaela Giuliani (6-1, Soph., Forward/Center)

Others to watch:  Sam Carangi (5-8, Fr., Guard), Irisa Ye (5-8, Fr., Guard), Jess Huber (5-8, Fr., Guard)

Outlook:  Leading the Maidens will be seniors Bri Cullen (Widener), Erin Maher (Philadelphia University) and Vicky Tumasz (Shippensburg). All three will be taking their talents to the collegiate level next year. In addition, sophomore Mikaela Giuliani saw valuable varsity minutes last year.  Throw in an outstanding freshmen class led by point guard Sam Carangi, and the Maidens once again expect to vie for the conference crown. They also hope to improve on last year’s sixth place finish in districts.
