SOUDERTON FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

Coach:  Sue Casciato – first year coach

Assistant coaches: Bridget Spence, Karalyn Schmidt, Becca Chylak

Last year’s record: 8-11 overall, lost in first round of districts

Notable losses: Julianna Borisow, Kutztown Univ; Jess Gabriel, ODU

Key returners: Courtney Kenah, 11^th, mid; Anna Gwiazdzinski, 11^th, fwd; Jess Schmidt, 12^th, def; Grace DeThomas, 12^th, def; Caitlin Lennon, 12^th; def; Jenna Hunsicker, 12^th, mid

Others to watch:  Lauren Kenah, 9^th, mid; Alyssa Krady, 12^th, fwd

Strengths/Question Marks:   “We have a strong starting lineup with a lot of team speed and experience. A possible weakness is an inexperienced bench, but as the season goes on and those players get more minutes, hopefully that area of concern will dissipate.”

Outlook:  “We would like to improve our power ranking to a position in the top 10, so that we can return to district playoffs as a higher seed. Although we face a lot of tough competition, we’re also aiming to contend for the league title as several other programs lost a lot of talent to graduation.”
