2023 Outlook: We will be relying on our few upperclassmen to continue the work ethic and atmosphere that led us to qualify for districts last year. While we are a young team, DeFazio, Morgan, and Kelley played significant roles in last year’s success.
We are very excited about the addition of several new players from CCHS and looking forward to their contributions this season. We are also excited about the play of our incoming freshman during this year’s summer league. Losing a three-year starter in the goal is never easy, but Sophomore Caroline Gedney is up for the challenge.
We have a great group of girls who are awesome teammates and work hard. We are hopeful that those traits translate to continued success for our team.
