UPPER MERION GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Tony Funsten (18th season)
Last year’s record: 14-0 SOL American Conference champions (12th conference crown in the past 14 seasons), 33-4 overall, District One AAA champions (second time in the past three seasons), advanced to the state final before losing to Hempfield and finishing second in the state
Notable losses: Outside hitter Devyn Ingram and libero Shannon Phillips, both all-state selections, as well as middle hitter Annie Lawn
Key returners: Senior setter Cassidy Koenig (a two-time all-state selection), senior middle hitter Heather Krick, senior outside hitter Kendall Gazzo, junior libero Casey Griffith, sophomore outside hitter Melanie Ingram
Newcomers: Senior middle hitter Krysta Wellington, senior defensive specialist Meghan Morris, senior defensive specialist Nicole Obermaier, sophomore opposite Carolyn Yvellez
Outlook: “Upper Merion will be hard pressed to duplicate last year’s fantastic season. However, the Lady Vikings certainly intend to defend their American Conference and District One titles.”
