Players- position and soccer skills:

“Nicole is the ultimate competitor. She excels at the center midfield position and is one of the top players in the Schuylkill League. She is an incredible two-way player and has tremendous stamina, excellent ball skills, and versatility. Her 14 goals tied her for second with Mackenzie Yuhas on our team. She has been 1st team All League every year. She will be playing college soccer at Clarion University after high school.”
12 Gabby Cinicola- 4-year starter
“Gabby is a steady, patient outside defender with a knack for winning balls and creating offense. She has been starting as an outside back for years and keeps the back line settled. She was SL honorable mention.”
12 Jen Grosse
“Jen is a powerful defender with a strong leg and a high soccer IQ. Jen will add depth to a strong back line.”
12 Lauren LeKites
“Lauren is a 4-year starter and one of the top goal scorers in JT girls soccer history. Her height and ability to shield the ball gives teams fits. Her versatility and high soccer IQ allows her to play striker, center midfield or center back. Lauren has a powerful and accurate shot. She led JT with 15 goals last season and was 1st team All League forward.”
12 Alexis Marotto- 4-year starter
“Alexis plays the outside midfield position with precision. She has an incredible shot and can cross the ball well to create scoring opportunities.”
12 Ehlauna Penn- 4-year starter
“Ehlauna is an athletic center back. She plays the position with a strength and intensity that shuts down opposing attackers. She plays a smart, fast, physical game. SL Honorable mention defense.”
12 Alexis Proulx
“Alexis is a fast striker with the ability to add to JT’s scoring threats this season.”
12 Kennedy Rider
“Kennedy is a speedy striker who has a knack for scoring goals.”
12 Riley Rushatz- 4-year starter
“Riley is a strong outside midfielder. She plays a high-pressure defensive game and uses her physicality to win balls and slow down attackers.”
12 Aurora VanAuken
“Aurora is a versatile player who excels in the goal and on the field. She will be splitting her time as a starting GK and as a striker this season.”
12 Mackenzie Yuhas
“Mackenzie is a force at the striker position. She has a unique blend of power, speed and agility. She was leading the SL in goals for most of last season until an injury derailed her. She ended up with 14 goals. Tied for 2nd on JT. 1st team SL all league player.”
11 Sarah Hartman
“Sarah is a superb outside back. She reads the plays intelligently and has tremendous speed. Sarah has the athleticism and mentality to shut down a team’s top striker. Was honorable mention SL last season.”
11 Olivia Rosenberger
“Olivia gained a lot of varsity goalkeeping experience last season and was the starting GK for our district playoff game against Bethlehem Catholic where she didn’t allow a goal. Olivia primarily played on the field last season and her 9 goals earned her SL honorable mention as a forward. She will be splitting her time as a starting GK and as a field player.”

Promising Newcomer:
Camille Chambers (Freshman) Defense. Camille will be an impact player for us this season. She is very athletic, fast and strong. She plays an aggressive style of defense and has a lot of game experience from club play. Camille fits nicely into our style of play. She will add depth to an already talented back line.
Team Offensive and Defensive Strategies: “The girls play fundamentally sound defense. The team only gave up 20 goals last season, which was the best goals against in the Schuylkill League. We had 8 shutouts. Our backline is very comfortable with the ball and can quickly create offense by linking up with a highly skilled midfield. Offensively we have many scoring threats, led by Lauren LeKites, Nicole Carroll, and Mackenzie Yuhas. We finished the season scoring 68 goals, coming from 12 different players.”
Team Strengths and Weaknesses: “One of our strengths is our collective experience. We have a lot of veteran players who have played a lot of varsity minutes over the last four years. They have played in many rivalry games and many intense playoff games with several ending in shootouts. But despite that experience, it’s going to be a challenge replacing two all-league players that graduated- Center back Kelli Hogarty and GK Kate Bos. Both players were 4 year starters and will be playing in college.”
Team Goals: “We’re always looking to have fun and compete to the best of our ability. Our goal is to win games in order to compete in both league and district playoffs.”
