Players to Watch:
“We have a number of players bringing back significant experience from last year's team. Look for new comers Jamie Rock, Madeleine Casey, Annabel Coplan, Allie Rock and Maisie Hanson to make some contributions this year. Senior Sarah Herchenroder and junior Meghan Muth will anchor the defense in the cage. Both players were new to the position last year, and had tremendous success in learning the skills of an effective goalkeeper. Seniors Ashley Bonanni and Sydney Leaming will add depth in the backfield too.”
Outlook:
“At this point in the preseason, we are excited for the 2017 season. We will be competitive in every game we play this season, and if progress continues, a return to post-season play won't be out of the question again this year.”
