Lower Moreland Girls' Soccer Preview

LOWER MORELAND GIRLS’ SOCCER PREVIEW

Coach: Todd Hill -Year 3

Assistant coaches: Pat Brady -Year 3 and Bridgette Alexander -Year 1

Last year’s record:  Overall Record: 8-8-2, League Record: 5-4-1

Notable losses: “We lost our 1st Team all-league attacker Morgan Pennisi and first team all-league defender Amelia Brown.  We lost our 4-year starting goalkeeper Sandra Malave (all three went on to play college soccer).  We also lost speed and aggressiveness in our wing defender Abby Wasserstrom.”

Key returners: Attacker Nikki Sahl, Midfielder Kenna Rozanski, and Defender Payge Lennon will be our three senior all-league players who will be tasked to with providing leadership in their third of the field

Others to watch: Senior wing Ruby Levin, sophomore attacker Shannon Mahon, and sophomore defender Agnes Kroll along with a number of other dynamic underclassmen.  

Strengths/Question Marks: “We have a robust group of talented midfielders and attackers.  We hope to score a lot of goals this year.  Our question marks are around defense and goalkeepers.  Between defense and goalie, we lost three 4-year starters.  That is a lot of experience to replace.  Our goalkeepers are working really hard to step into that spot, and our defense is improving every day.”  

Outlook: We are working harder this year at staying healthy, with additional stretching every day.  Last year we were never healthy, and that hurt us a lot.  We have a really good group of girls who love to play soccer.  They work really hard to succeed.  We still have a lot of work to do, but our goal is to get a little better every day.  I believe if we do that consistently through the season, we will be able to reach our potential which will include a lot of success.”
