Strengths/Question Marks:  “Our strengths lie in our midfield speed, multiple talented shooters, strong defensive unit, and versatility of players.  We are excited to see two new goalies in Souderton uniforms, senior Hannah Schmidt and freshman Lauren Scott.”

Outlook:  “We have five returning seniors - Ofalt, Schneider, L. Goodwin, Halteman and Olivia Toler - with strong underclassmen adding depth and longevity to the program.  Our goals are to maintain the winning conference seasons of the past few years while developing our younger players to continue with many more successful years of the program. We hope to use our cohesive and aggressive defensive unit to control possession and translate that into goals on the attacking end of the field with a wide range of players who are capable of putting points on the board. The coaching staff hopes to bring a positive energy and an unbelievable amount of experiences as a players and coaches to the program.”
