Episcopal Academy coach Josie Ferri knew she and her players had a lot of work to do when practice began in March.
“Last year, we had nine seniors and eight were starters,” Ferri said. “This year, we have three seniors, all attackers.”
EA’s young players have had to grow up in a hurry. In the first 10 days of the season, Episcopal went 3-4 in games against several nationally-ranked teams from Maryland, Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area.
“Today was our first game against a team from Pennsylvania,” Ferri said.
