Outlook: “The 2015-2016 Upper Dublin Girls' Basketball team returns after a very successful season that included a 23-7 record and a third consecutive outright Suburban One American Conference Title. The team is led by three returning starters in Allison Chernow (2nd Team All League), Demi Balasa, and Josie Barrett (3rd Team All League). Maggie Weglos, who started several games last year as a freshmen and Ashley Barber, who missed all of her junior year with an injury, will close out a very balanced unit. The team will look to use the experience gained from last year’s deep playoff run to have another strong showing in the post-season. The girls worked hard in the offseason and hope to contend again for the Suburban One American Conference title.”
