Season Outlook:We lost several talented seniors to graduation Annie Coll (Midfield) and Erin Roy (GK). We are very excited about the opportunity to build a young team that is showing a lot of talent and working extremely hard.  The senior class is providing a lot of stability and leadership to our younger players.  Hailey Lesniak (Sr.) and Emily Jackson (Sr.) are returning at midfield and defensive areas.  Our junior and sophomore class is ready to step up and make an impact this season. Charlotte Drapkin (Jr.), Emma Yoder (Jr.), and Norah Conlin (Jr.) will bring valuable experience and have really honed their skills.  Natalie Rittler (So.), Gracie Buchholz (So.), Iona Stum (Jr.), Gabi Maletta (So.), and Isabella Navo (So.) have worked extremely hard in the off-season by joining club field hockey teams.  The entire team is showing promise for the upcoming season and I feel we have a strong bench to rely on.”
