Upper Merion 2016 Field Hockey Preview

Upper Merion

Head coach: Angie Yanocha, 10th season.
Last year’s record: 1-13 Suburban One; 2-15 overall.
Players to watch: Seniors: Alyssa Adinolfi, midfield; Yasmin Gant, midfield; Avelia Groff, defense. Junior: Rella Staley, forward.
Outlook: Change could prove to be a good thing for the Vikings as they enter their first season in the PAC. After compiling just eight conference wins over the past three seasons in Suburban One League play, Yanocha and Upper Merion are up to the task. “UM is a very young team with a lot of veteran players,” she said. “Our goal this year is to continue to improve as a team and hopefully make a smooth transition into our new league.” That transition should be aided with the help of SOL Honorable Mention Adinolfi controlling the midfield.
