Last year's record: 4-13-1
Coach: Manny Lopes (2nd year)
Returning starters: Tess Salabella, Sr. back; Becca Fanning, Sr. back; Erika Giovanniello, Sr. midfield; Elita Nicholson, Sr. midfield; Jessica Cote, Sr. midfield; Kayla Jernigan, Sr. forward; Melissa McFayden, Sr. midfield; Lizzy Fanning, Soph. back; Stephanie Sutherby, Soph. back; Lia Webb, Soph. goalie.
Strengths: Ten of 11 starters return, led by a strong defense. Salabella leads a strong defense. Lizzy Fanning and Sutherby both have great promise.
Concerns: All-star goalie Amber Smith has taken the year off to concentrate on basketball. Webb, who played eight games in net starting at midseason a year ago, will be the starter this fall.
Coach's outlook: "We want to improve our record within the Cape Ann League. Of our 13 losses last year, 12 were one or two-goal losses. We hope to stun a few more people this year."
