OUTLOOKWe achieved many of our goals in 2018 - co-SOL Continental Championship and District One 6A Championship.  However, a first round exit in the PIAA state playoffs stopped us short of another goal.  Kylie Kenney (1st Team SOL Continental, All-Intell Player of the Year) and Alexa Ortman (1st Team SOL Continental) look to lead the way on and off the field.  With eight returning starters, and an influx of new players, we hope to reach our goals again in 2019 along with even more.”
