Last year’s record:  6-12 overall, 4-5 SOL

Key returners:  Jacklyn Staub GK, Sam Intrieri Junior midfield,  Kelly Dickson Junior Midfield, Lauren Donofrio defense, Naomi Bram defense

Strengths - Speed, quick & field smart players.

Question marks - Young team with lots to work on to reach common goals

Outlook:  “Wissahickon is excited and can’t wait for the snow to clear so we can hit the field this season.  Jaclyn Staub is a great leader and anchor in goal.  We will need her guidance along with Caroline Marta and Naomi Bram for a young defense.  We have lots of hustle and heart but a ton of things to work on that only come with more time spent together, working hard on the field.  We have five (yes five) captains in Caroline Marta, Lauren Weber, Emily Purnell, Sam Intrieri and Kelly Dickson.  They’re great captains and doing an excellent job helping our players come together as a team.”
