2005-6 Season: 26-20 (4-8 North East Michigan Conference)
Head Coach: Helen Loomis
Returning Players: Erica Loomis, sr.; Katie Borushko, sr.; Stephanie Aviles, sr.; Miranda Oakley, sr.; Madie O'Farrell, sr.; Catherine Daniels, sr.; Ashley Foco, sr.
New to varsity: Annie Thompson, jr.; Katie Eymer, jr.; Heather Popielarz, sr.; Heather Ostrander, jr.; Ashleigh Schulte, jr.
Outlook: The Cards hope to move up in the league, returning much of their front line and their setter. Erica Loomis, Catherine Daniels and Madie O'Farrell look to step it up a notch over last season, which Loomis missed part of due to illness. Stephanie Aviles returns to the all-important setter position, with Miranda Oakley providing some of the team's best serving and Ashley Foco and Katie Borushko also returning to the back row.
W-P may be hard-pressed to crack the top three in the league, but in the early season has already split a pair of non-league contests with Ogemaw Heights. The rigors of NEMC competition should help prepare the Cards for a Class C district tournament run and a shot at a district title that has eluded them. |
