Souderton Girls' Basketball Preview

SOUDERTON GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Lynn Carroll (13th year)

Assistant coaches:  Ben Bowman (11th year) and Ed Holzer (1st year)

Last year’s record:  8-14 overall

Notable losses:
Krista Schneider – Ursinus College
Marissa Sandone – Gwynedd Mercy College

Key returners:
Tori Dowd (Jr., Point Guard), Alana Cardona (Jr., Forward), Sami Falencki (Jr., Guard), Megan Walbrandt (Soph., Guard)

Others to watch:  Kate Connolly (Jr., Guard – transfer from Archbishop Wood)

Strengths:  “We are strong at every position and have a lot of versatility on both ends of the court. We have a nice balance on the offensive end, and our speed and length allow us to play a variety of defenses. This is an extremely hard-working group who are getting better each day.”

Outlook:  “By the end of last season, Dowd, Cardona, Falencki and Walbrandt were playing at a high level and proved they could compete with the teams in the Continental Conference. The addition of Drexel-bound Connolly has helped to elevate the team to an even higher level of play. We expect to compete for the SOL Continental Championship and put ourselves in good position for district and state playoffs.”
