WISSAHICKON GIRLS’ SOCCER PREVIEW
Coach: Chris McDaniels 6th Season
Assistant coaches: Sean Treacy, Zack Lobasso and Caroline Hassal
Last year’s record:
- SOL 7-7-2
- Overall 7-10-2
- Lost in first round of Districts to Garnet Valley 2-0
Notable losses:
Meredith Blight
Julia D’Aquanno
Lucy Greenstein (playing at Shenandoah University)
Emily Kim
Ryan Matt
Lannah Werynski (playing at Shippensburg University)
Key returners:
--Olivia Lore – GK
--Ellie Stein – CB
Olivia and Ellie will anchor a backline with some younger players as they acclimate to the speed at the varsity level. I have confidence that we’ll improve every time out.
--Emma Greenberg – F/W
Emma will be one of our main offensive targets. She has size and pace that should be difficult for defenders to contain.
--Sophia Yeh – M/D
Sophia will fill gaps in the back and the midfield as needs arise. It will be nice to have her versatility.
Others to watch:
--Lila Marciniak showed a lot of growth last year as a ninth grader and arrived at preseason with a confidence to take players on and create.
--Lainey Werynski will split time in the central midfield and on the back line. Lainey’s ability to possess and distribute should help us in possession.
Outlook: “After a slow start in 2024, we are hoping to learn from that start and begin the season with a sense of urgency. We plan on taking it one game at a time and hopefully that lands us competing for a playoff spot come October.”
