2013 record: 4-12 overall, 2-10 Skyland Conference Delaware Division
Players to watch: Sr. GK Kelli Lieberman, Sr. F Brynn McDonald, Sr. D Ashley Bucher, Sr. MF Courtney Bucher, Jr. F Heather Tostevin, So. GK Olivia Ripnyak.
Outlook: As a new coach last fall, Matt Maurella got his initiation in the Skyland Conference’s Delaware Division, which usually features at least five of the top 20 teams in the state. Maurella chalks 2013 up to a learning experience for both himself and his players. The Lions have 12 seniors returning and their biggest need will be, as it usually has been, scoring goals.
From coach Maurella: “There’s a new team dynamic of sorts since a lot of the girls now on varsity were on JV last year. We’ve pulled them up as a group and they seem to be meshing better. We want to spread the field, work the passing game and control the ball more as a team instead of just kick and run.”
