Methacton 2016 Field Hockey Preview

Methacton

Head coach: Sarah Quintois, fifth season.
Last year’s record: 9-3-1 PAC-10; 18-5-1 overall.
Players to watch: Seniors: Jackie Cerchio, forward; Emily Mycek, midfield; Addie Frey, goalkeeper; Kelsey Shoemaker, defense. Juniors: Julia Dickinson, midfield; Emily Owens, forward; Olivia Hoover, forward; Gretchen Alderfer, defense/midfield. Sophomores: Katy Benton, midfield; Frankie Lucchesi, midfield. Freshman: Liz Chipman, defense.
Outlook: Though they graduated a huge majority of their seniors from last year’s state playoff contending program, the Warriors return plenty of talent including Mercury All-Area First Teamer Hoover and Second Teamer Owens. Despite the lack of experience and only four starters from last year’s program, Quintois says her team has plenty of reliable players to count on. “Even with graduation, the team appears to have even more depth than last year’s,” she said. “If this team performs to their potential, it should be a very exciting year.”
