LOWER MERION SCREAMERS
Under 14B Girls Travel Team


UNDER 14 SEASON

The Under 14 Screamers had an enjoyable season finishing solidly in the middle of their division not being eliminated from the playoff chase until the second to last game of the season. The girls led by team MVP and goalie Lacey Serletti showed great heart all season long. Lacey sacrificed her body all season long while making diving stops in every game. In every one of the matches the Screamers were extremely competitive and could have won or tied but unfortunately the breaks didn't always go our way. Despite playing a few games with no subs, the girls refused to quit.

With a renewed focus on scoring, the offense was led by leading goal scorer and breakaway specialist Shelby Ginsburg with Emely Levyn twinkling the twine often as well. Both Emely and Shelby made the most of their desired transition from part time goalies to full time offensive weapons. Returning players Brooke Elgart, Julia Morrison. Alexis Tissian, and Ilana Wolfson were also part of our stronger attack and were instrumental in feeding the ball to the goal scorers.

The midfield play was very solid all year led Sara Hyman and newcomer Emily Lawson who both showed great stamina, strength and skill. The team also welcomed first time travel players "The Porter Twins", Jessica and Gwen who were interchangeable midfielders and forwards that added some toughness to the existing group. All of the new girls fit in seamlessly with the many returning veterans. Defense was once again led by the quick and determined sweeper Nikki Bredt and the aggressive play of stopper Hallie Roseman. Rounding out the back line was Madison Noteware, Rachael Ayella-Silver, and Sarah Robinson. This group played most of the game and kept hustling even when they were gassed. One of the main keys to the team was the consistency of the defense and their ability to not panic under fire. Once again, the highlight of the season was the road trip to Cape May for the Columbus Day Weekend Tournament. The girls really acquitted themselves beautifully and played their best game of the season while having a great time as a team. Special thanks to first time assistant coach Marc Ginsburg for his motivational leadership. Fall 2007 Season -
