Coach’s outlook for 2018 season: “We are excited for the 2018 season and the challenging schedule that we have in front of us. The team is lead by eleven talented and enthusiastic seniors. We have a strong returning attack lead by senior attackers Sydney Wolfington, Alex Hark and junior Emily Wills. The midfield line is fast and impactful on both ends with senior Maria Pansini coming off a 2017 season with 81 draw controls and 57 caused turnovers. Sophomores Natalie Pansini, Kacy Hogarth, Julianne Carey, and junior Emily Coyne also will contribute to the speed and skill on the midfield line. The defense is experienced and very deep with senior defenders and junior Camilla Gowen anchoring in goal. Our regional strength of schedule early in the season should help prepare the team for InterAc competition.”
