It’s a new year and a new team, but the end goal is still the same: raise a championship plaque.
Last season was a memorable one for the Thunder as they won the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association Class B playoff championship. It was the program’s first title since 2007.
But as the Thunder rolls into the 2016 season they are moving forward without several vital components from that championship squad who were lost to graduation. Namely Julia Badgley and All-League goalie Sarah Ngo.
Knowing full well that change comes with the territory in high school sports, the Mount will now be looking to senior Katie Hart (defense) and midfielders Ruth Riggie (junior), McKenna O’Rourke (senior) and Paige Freer (senior) to lead the way.
“The team shows a lot of promise. There’s a lot of new players this year, who have never touched a ball before. So we definitely have a lot of work to do,” Ruth Riggie said after the Mount’s 4-1 loss to Kenmore West on Aug.29.
While coach Marissa Dauria feels this group has the kind of character, drive and work ethic that can keep the program moving forward, unfortunately some of them are already dealing with some bumps and bruises. So they haven’t all been 100% at the same time in these first few weeks of camp and scrimmages.
“Last year was a good year and it was fun to win the B title, but we did lose some significant players like Sarah Ngo. She was our goalie and she was athletic and Julia Badgley who was a four-year player for us. All of the girls were big players for us, but we felt good going into the season about the returners that we had coming back. Paige, Katie Hart, McKenna-unfortunately all three of those kids are now banged up. The ones that you are ready to hang your hat on aren’t there, so our goal as a team is build off the success that we had last year as a team and go forward.”
The most obvious gap that needs to be filled is between the pipes as Sarah Ngo gave the Mount exactly what you need from a keeper. A chance to win every time she was in net.
Junior Megan Preisch appears to have won the job out of training camp, but sophomore Jillian Fittry-a three-sport stud who stars in basketball and softball-will be a more than capable option should the Thunder call on her.
Obviously focused on repeating as B champs, the Thunder also know that this is a new mix of players and that they have to write their own chapter of Mount history.
There is added incentive to win Class B this season. As the B champ will win a spot in the Class A playoffs, making them eligible to compete in the state tournament.
“We still have a fair amount of last year’s players,” Riggie said, “so definitely our coach wants us to win. Everyone wants to win the B. We want to get into the A semifinals. We have a lot of goals this season and I think we can do it. I really do.”
