2025 Outlook: This season, we’re bringing something brand new to our program—blazing speed. Our young forward line is lightning fast, and we plan to take full advantage of that pace to keep our opponents on their heels. Anchoring the field is our solid, experienced midfield, the true backbone of our team. With all returning players stepping into leadership roles and leading by example, we’re ready to play with intensity, unity, and heart from start to finish.
Though we have six starting seniors, the rest of the field is made up of less experienced players—but that’s hardly a concern. The skill, determination, and desire these girls have to grow in both the sport and our program is unmatched. I’m excited to see our younger players seize the opportunity to shine on the field, and I have big expectations for what they’ll accomplish this season.
Expectations are high once again for this group. Their skill and experience position them perfectly for another postseason run—fighting for hardware and chasing a three-peat to the state tournament. With younger players stepping into bigger roles, I’m counting on my core of six seniors to serve as an extension of the coaching staff, guiding and setting the tone. This off-season has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m eager to see how this group comes together to create the strongest Palmerton Ive had the honor to coach.
