Key Players: “We return a strong class of 2022 for their senior year, including defenders Samantha Hark, Katherine Ernst, Colby Macaione and Jackie Heinerichs. Experience in the midfield comes from Cate Parsells, Sydney Wilson and Blair Fox with Marissa White adding an offensive threat after coming off an ACL injury in 2021. Lefty attacker Ella Springer returns after a successful freshman year with Alex Lesko, Katie Repp, Courtney Warren and Molly Chorin all adding experience in the offensive end. Sophomore GK, Maggie Mullen, has been dominant in the cage in the offseason and adds energy and athleticism to our defensive unit.”
Others to Watch: newcomers Catie Holmes, Caroline Chisolm and Mairyn Dwyer add to the speed and depth in the midfield for 2022.
Coaches Outlook: “We are excited to kick off 2022 after finishing strong in 2021. We have a strong returning core of players and have added some new faces to the 2022 squad that should give us some additional depth, speed and athleticism. We have a very challenging non-league schedule for 2022 taking on Moorestown, St. Stephen’s St Agnes, American Heritage, Conestoga, Archbishop Carroll and a few others.”
