Coach: Jeff Perkins
Last year’s record: 13-1
Key returning players: Lauren Steidl, Talley Perkins, Jane Coffrin, Abby McInerney, Hannah Newhall
Key games: Waynflete, Falmouth, Greeley, Scarborough, Gorham
Outlook: “We should have a very good team this year with 10 returning starters,” Perkins says. “Last year we [went] undefeated in the regular season, losing in triple overtime to Waynflete in the WMC championship.” Perkins notes that his squad drew a more challenging schedule this year, but emphasizes that great lacrosse should result. “Anytime you get as close as we did last year, all you want is for the season to start as soon as possible and try to get over the hump.” He adds that this year’s team has a great deal of experience in its returning starters, as well as intimidating offensive prowess in Steidl and Perkins, each of whom scored more than 50 goals last season.
