Coming off a 1-15 campaign a year ago, Beth Reinert is looking for improvement in Liberty’s girls lacrosse program this spring.

Despite last year’s results, optimism isn’t shy of coming through as Reinert knows she has a team that will fight.

“The biggest thing about this group is that they never quit,” said Reinert. “We’re a young team that’s still developing to be competitive in this league.”

Back for the Hurricanes this season include Erika Peters (Sr.), Anissa Abboud (Jr.), Kelsey Nevitt (Sr.) and Barbara Moukoulis (Jr.). Newcomers into the fold are sophomores Quinnlyn Burger, Emma Flickinger, Chase Reinert and Tae Wask, who Reinert expects all to be major contributors this season.

Freshmen McKenna Burkhardt and Sadie Abboud also figure to play key roles this season.

“Those two we will be looking to help us capitalize on the offensive end of the field,” said Reinert. “Our biggest area of focus heading into this season will be defense.”

The girls have started the season on a rough note, falling to 0-5 on the season.

After the tough start to the season, the Hurricanes hope that this week can bring them better results, as they take on Northampton (2-4) and Central Catholic (1-4) this week.
