NORTH PENN SOFTBALL PREVIEW

Head Coach:  Rick Torresani (12th year  -  244 wins)

Assistant Coaches:  Shannon McCracken, Bryan Eppinger, Matt Sokol, Jon Kandrick (Volunteer)

Last year’s record:  8-6 SOL, 13-8 overall, Lost in the District One playoffs to OJ Roberts for the 5th and final state playoff berth.      

Notable Losses: Taylor Marchozzi  (Seton Hill  3rd base) – Stephanie Kulp ( Millersville  outfield & pitcher) and  Kellianna Bradstreet ( West Chester  not playing softball).

Key Returners:  Jess Mower (Senior), Lauren Hess (Senior), Michelle Holweger( JR.), Jenn Halcovage (JR.), Hannah Sheehan (JR), Erin Maher (Soph.), Vicky Tumasz (Soph.)

Other to Watch:  Alexa Gable (JR.), Michelle Rauch ( Soph.)  Rebecca Christoffers (FR)

Strengths: With the return of Jess Mower and Vicky Tumasz to form a good battery and the hitting of Michelle Holweger, Erin Maher and Michelle Rauch, the team should be very competitive in a very good conference.

Question Marks:  The team has been preaching  “Just Play  - No Drama”.  Can they achieve that goal?

Outlook:  We have a lot of young talent with a tremendous amount of energy.  They all have a passion for the game and a desire to play as a team.  Hopefully that will lead to a winning season and a district and state playoff berth.
