UPPER MERION GIRLS LACROSSE PREVIEW
Coach: ANGIE YANOCHA, 7TH YEAR
Assistant coaches: STEPH BEAN
Last year’s record: 5-7 SOL American Conference, 10-7 (most wins since 2003)
Notable losses: Tammy Slaughter, Brittany Sautner, Colleen Quigley, Powell Davis
Key returners: Mel Ryan, Senior, Attack; Amanda McAteer, Junior, Midfield; Liz Botto, Sophomore, Midfield; Jackie Schauble, Sophomore, Midfield; Ally Frymoyer, Senior, GK; Dominique Gambone, Junior, Attack; Haley Fitzgerald, Senior, Attack; Karen Hranek, Senior, Defense
Outlook: Our team goal is to try and make it into districts this year. We haven’t been there since 2003. We’re working on our defense a lot. We lost three of our four starting defenders so we’re rebuilding our defensive end. In addition to some strong upperclassmen, we also have several younger players that we will be looking to for making big plays this season. We still have a lot to work on, but our progress continues to go in the right direction and we’re looking forward to this season.
GAMES TO WATCH: My kids always love our match-up with Plymouth Whitemarsh. Last year they beat us in both games. The first loss came in overtime and the second loss was by two goals. They are eager for their chance to play them this year.
