Lower Moreland Girls' Soccer Preview

LOWER MORELAND GIRLS’ SOCCER PREVIEW

Coach:  Todd Hill -4th Season as Head Coach

Assistant coaches:  Greg Kroll Assistant Varsity and Tina Baker JV Coach

Last year’s record: League Record 10-0 Overall Record14-4 (before playoffs -lost our first game) We won the Freedom Division

Notable losses: Lost 6 senior starters including 4 All League Players -two who are continuing to play in college

Key returners: Returning All-League Players:  Sophomore Attacker Emma Liebert, Junior Attacker Shannon Mahon, Junior Defender Agnes Kroll, and Junior Keeper Mariah Gazzara

Others to watch: We have a strong Freshman class that will include a few who will contribute on the Varsity team.  

Strengths/Question Marks:  “We need to see if our young players can step into the vacuum left by a strong senior class last year.  This does feel like one of our deepest teams that we have had.  However, we already have a number of injuries to start off our season.  Can we get some consistency while we are already having to juggle players to fill gaps?  

Outlook: “I am excited about the challenge in front of the girls.  We have had a choppy pre-season due to limited field time because of the heat.  I was impressed with this group's flexibility and willingness to adjust.  We have spent time reading about and working on building a Positive Culture.  The girls are buying into this culture.  We have a really tough schedule this season, so we will be tested early and often.  I believe that the culture we are building coupled with really hard work by the girls will lead to a lot of success.”
