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.
