TEAM NOTE:
Upper Merion returns two starters from last year’s team – Cassidy Koenig and Kristina O’Sullivan. Both guards started each game for the Lady Vikings last season, and each have been named to an all-state team in the fall (Koenig for volleyball and O’Sullivan for soccer). If the Lady Vikings are to continue to be competitive the younger players will need to adjust to the speed of a high school game.
OUTLOOK:
Upper Merion hopes to once again be competitive in the American One conference. The team would like to build on last year’s record and work to return to the AAA district play-offs (lost to Villa Maria).
