Outlook: “After making the playoffs the last three years, everyone in our lineup has appeared in some way in a playoff game. We hope to be fortunate enough to host a playoff game this year. We will be leaning heavily on seniors Ciliberto, Franczyk, Penna and Fitzgerald. They are the backbone of our team. Morgan Risnychok looks like a future star and Siena Miller has been our biggest surprise this year. She has worked hard all winter, and it has really shown in practice. We are looking forward to seeing the continuing improvement of Maren Carter, Meredith Walsh and Emma Dutill. They along with Risnychok and Miller are a big part of our team now and in the future.
“For the first time in years, we have four players going on to play college softball. Luca and Danielle are going to West Chester, Gracie to Towson and Fitz to UMass- Lowell. Considering that we only have 11 varsity players and 20 girls in our program, I think that is significant. I hope they can be rewarded with a home playoff appearance. They are great kids and have worked hard to make us better as a team.”
