Leading Returning Goalkeepers

Briona Davis, Dickinson

Dickinson (8-7-2, 4-5-1 CC, T-6th place)
Head Coach: Kelly Tyrrell (Colgate '00), 8th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview
All-Time Record: 290-246-41
Centennial Titles (0)
Playoff Appearances (4): 2005-08-09-10  

Key Returnees: Briona Davis, Soph, B, 3-1-7, HM All-CC; Samantha Knapp, Soph, F, 2-4-8; Olivia Termini, Soph, M, 3-1-7; Jillian Marini, Sr, B; Taylor Brennan, Soph, F, 4-1-9; McKenzie Dean, Sr, B.
Key Losses: Hannah Matlack, B, 0-2-2, 1st team All-CC; Jenna Lamb, F, 8-4-20, 2nd team All-CC; Bridgette Corbran, F, 2-1-5; Erin Sutphen, M, 2-1-5; Charlotte Armour, GK, 1.53 GAA, 76.3 save pct.
Preseason Poll Projection: 7th
Outlook: The Red Devils missed out on the playoffs for the fifth straight year but hope to end that streak with a talented, but young, group of returnees. Brennan is the top returning goal scorer (4) and will team with Knapp up front. Termini and junior Amanda Goldrich headline the midfield. Marini and Dean head up an experienced backline, while Davis had a strong rookie campaign with three goals. The keeper job will be won in camp. Dickinson may not contend for a Conference championship this fall but will be knocking on the playoff door come November.

Sarah Mischianti, Franklin & Marshall

Franklin & Marshall (3-11-3, 1-8-1 CC, 9th place)
Head Coach: Heather Kemp (Messiah '08), 2nd season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview (8/30)
All-Time Record: 283-267-43
Centennial Titles (0)
Playoff Appearances (3): 2001-02-11  

Key Returnees: Sarah Mischianti, Sr, B, HM All-CC; Meghan Byrne, Soph, B, 1-3-5; Shannon Johnson-Finn, Jr, GK. 1.50 GAA, 80.0 save pct; Kate Kerr, Sr, M, 3-0-6; Lauren Kranis, Soph, B, 1-0-2; Blaise Ebanietti, Jr, B; Sabrina Graziano, Soph, M. 
Key Losses: Kim Kornbluth, M; Jennifer Lurty, M.
Preseason Poll Projection: 9th
Outlook: The good news is that the Diplomats return all of their goal scorers from 2015. The bad news is that F&M tallied just seven goals in 17 matches a year ago. Changing that stat is priority #1 for the Blue and White this fall. Kerr notched three of those goals a year ago from her midfield perch. Mischianti, an honorable mention All-CC pick, headlines the defense along with Byrne, Ebanietti and Kranis. Johnson-Finn turned away 80 percent of shots faced in net in 2015. If the Diplomats can generate more offense, F&M could cause problems for teams this fall.

Julia Ramsey, Gettysburg

Gettysburg (10-2-6, 7-2-1 CC, 4th place, lost to Ursinus in Centennial first round, 0-0, PK: 1-3)
Head Coach: Matt Garrett (Slippery Rock), 9th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview (9/2)
All-Time Record: 295-170-42
Centennial Titles (5): 1993-94-98-99-2004
Playoff Appearances (13): 2001-02-03-04-05-06-07-10-11-12-13-14-15

Key Returnees: Julia Ramsey, Sr, M, 2-1-5, 1st team All-CC; Alexa Bushey, Soph, M, 1-1-3; Hannah Theurer, Sr, F, 4-3-11; Gillian Sencindiver, Jr, B; Jessica Cuttone, Jr, B, 2-1-5; Shannon Brady, Jr, M, 1-1-3; Aoife Schanche, Jr, B; Carly Cobbol, Sr, B; Lauren Miesemer, Soph, B.
Key Losses: Eliza Gray, GK, 1st team All-CC, Centennial Player of the Year, 1st team All-America; Cailin DiGiacomo, B, 1st team All-CC; Lauren Schapiro, Sr, F, 7-2-16, HM All-CC; Melissa Seidner, F, 1-3-5.
Preseason Poll Projection: 4th
Outlook: Gettysburg allowed just six goals in 18 matches a year ago but the Bullets' 2015 season came to an abrupt halt in the first round of the CC playoffs, falling in PKs to Ursinus. To make the next step, Gettysburg needs to replace the CC Player of the Year in goal and another first-teamer on the backline. Sencindiver, Cuttone and Schanche are veteran defenders, while Ramsey - a first-team All-CC pick - and Bushey headline the midfield. Theurer and Brady should step into starting roles up front. The Orange and Blue are a perennial Centennial title contender and 2016 should prove no different should youngsters step up.

Abby Letts, Haverford

Haverford (11-5-1, 4-5-1 CC, T-6th place)
Head Coach: Jamie Schneck (Muhlenberg '03), 10th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview (9/1)
All-Time Record: 276-235-53
Centennial Titles (2): 1995-2012
Playoff Appearances (9): 2004-05-07-08-09-10-11-12-13 

Key Returnees: Abby Letts, Sr, B, 1-1-3, 2nd team All-CC; Katie Safter, Soph, B, 2-0-4, HM All-CC; Raina Fitzpatrick, Jr, M, 5-3-13; Anna Dekle, Jr, M, 5-2-12; Ali Lopez, Sr, F, 5-2-12; Skyler Ellenburg, Jr, M, 1-6-8; Sydney West, Soph, B, 0-1-1; Kathy Prescott, Sr, GK, 0.63 GAA, 85.7 save pct. 
Key Losses: Jo Haller, M, 10-6-26, 2nd team All-CC.
Preseason Poll Projection: 6th
Outlook: The Fords just missed out on a playoff berth a year ago and the nucleus is back for a postseason run in 2016. The backline allowed just 13 goals in 17 matches last season and welcomes back Letts and Safter, who both earned All-CC honors, along with West. Prescott started the first 11 matches in goal and posted an 85.7 save percentage. Lopez and Dekle combined for 10 goals up front, while Fitzpatrick and Ellenburg combined for 6-9-21 last season. Haverford has the pieces to get back to the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.

Meg Van de Loo, Johns Hopkins

Johns Hopkins (14-5-1, 8-2 CC, d. Swarthmore 2-1 OT in Centennial final, lost to Bowdoin 3-2 in NCAA 1st round)
Head Coach: Leo Weil (Maryland '67), 25th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview (9/2)
All-Time Record: 340-109-34
Centennial Titles (12): 1996-97-2002-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-13-15
Playoff Appearances (15): 2001-02-03-04-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12-13-14-15 

Key Returnees: Meg Van De Loo, Sr, M, 17-2-36, 1st team All-CC, 3rd team All-America; Ana Bengoechea, Sr, M, 3-4-10, 1st team All-CC; Kristen Hori, Soph, F, 6-9-21, 2nd team All-CC; Adrienne Johnson, Sr, B, 1-2-4, 2nd Team All-CC; Vania Ludman, Sr, M/F, 2-4-8; Alexa Rangecroft, Sr, F, 5-0-10; Sophie Murphy, Jr, B, 0-1-1; Clara Aranguren, Sr, GK, 1.13 GAA, 75.8 save pct. 
Key Losses: Alaina Arthur, F, 5-2-12; Maryalice McKenna, M, 2-0-4; Issy Berkey, F, 5-2-12; Hope Lundberg, M, 1-4-6.
Preseason Poll Projection: 2nd
Outlook: The Blue Jays returned to the top of the Centennial last season with a thrilling OT win at Swarthmore. Hopkins looks to add to its Conference-record 12 titles behind the return of a pair first-team All-CC selections. Van de Loo, a third-team All-American, scored 17 times last season, while Bengoechea has earned first-team All-CC honors three times. Hori and Rangecroft are talented playmakers up front. Johnson, a second-team All-CC choice, and Murphy headline the defense in front of Aranguren. Hop should extend its playoff streak to 16 seasons and will contend for Centennial title #13.

Nicole Hill, McDaniel

McDaniel (15-3-2, 7-1-2 CC, lost to Johns Hopkins 1-0 in CC semifinal, lost to Oneonta 3-1 in NCAA 1st round)
Head Coach: Sandy Lagana (Bridgewater '04), 5th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics
All-Time Record: 227-245-25
Centennial Titles (0)
Playoff Appearances (2): 2013-15 

Key Returnees: Nicole Hill, Sr, F, 11-9-31, 1st team All-CC; Kristen Upton, Jr, B, 7-0-14, 2nd team All-CC; Kirsten Gibson, Soph, F, 8-5-21; Christina Wroblewski, Sr, M, 6-6-18, 2nd team All-CC; Abby Keen, Jr, M, 2-11-15; Lindsey Farrell, Soph, F, 5-3-13; Catherine Wroblewski, Sr, M, 1-3-5; Jess Beall, Sr, B, 1-0-2; A.J. Johnston, Soph, M; Sarah McDonald, Jr, GK, 0.71 GAA, 81.9 save pct.
Key Losses: Chloe Allen-Gorman, B, 1st team All-CC, 2nd team All-America; Maggie Quinn, F, 8-6-22, 2nd team All-CC.
Preseason Poll Projection: 3rd
Outlook: The Green Terror scored 57 goals last season and welcomes back 86 percent of that offense for 2016. Hill is one of the top players in the region and a candidate for CC Player of the Year honors. Gibson and Farrell combined for 13-8-34 up front, while the Wroblewski twins posted 7-9-23 numbers at midfield. Upton earned second-team All-CC honors after tallying seven times and leads the backfield along with Beall. McDonald returns in goal after turning away nearly 82 percent of shots a year ago. McDaniel has the talent to bring its first-ever Centennial championship trophy to Westminster.

Emily Jordan, Muhlenberg

Muhlenberg (5-12-1, 3-7 CC)
Head Coach: Leslie Benintend (Cortland '92), 22nd season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview
All-Time Record: 245-182-35
Centennial Titles (3): 2000-01-03
Playoff Appearances (10): 2001-02-03-04-06-08-09-12-13-14 

Key Returnees: Makenzie O'Brien, Soph, M, 4-0-8; Carly DeNigris, Jr, M, 2-3-7; Emily Jordan, Soph, M, 3-1-7; Sarah Theurer, Soph, M, 0-3-3; Rachel Manci, Sr, B; Abby Lazofsky, Sr, M, 4-0-8; Phoebe Shields, Jr, F, 1-2-4.
Key Losses: Jen Mermelstein, GK, 1.92 GAA, 72.6 save pct, HM All-CC; Taylor Pini, M, 2-4-8; Megan Nehila, F; Tori Dowd, B.
Preseason Poll Projection: 8th
Outlook: The Mules missed the playoffs for the first time in four seasons but hopes the experience gained will lead to meaningful November matches in 2016. Lazofsky and O'Brien, who shared the team lead in goals (4), will be joined on the midfield by DeNigris, Jordan and Theurer. Shields and Manci are the veterans at forward and defense. The keeper job will be won in camp. Muhlenberg scored just 20 times in 17 matches last fall. That number needs to improve for a shot at the conference playoffs.

Caroline Khanna, Swarthmore

Swarthmore (18-3-2, 9-0-1 CC, lost to Johns Hopkins 2-1 OT in Centennial final, lost to Messiah 5-0 in NCAA Quarterfinal)
Head Coach: Todd Anckaitis (Lafayette '95), 12th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview
All-Time Record: 256-307-44
Centennial Titles (1): 2014 
Playoff Appearances (8): 2006-07-08-09-11-12-14-15 

Key Returnees: Marin McCoy, Soph, F, 15-10-40, 1st team All-CC, 2nd team All-America; Hannah Lichtenstein, Sr, F, 12-10-34, 1st team All-CC; Caroline Khanna, Sr, M, 9-6-24, 1st team All-CC, 3rd team All-America; Miranda Saldivar, Sr, M, 1-5-7, 2nd team All-CC; Melissa Curran, Soph, B, 0-1-1, 2nd team All-CC; Katie Dougherty, Jr, F, 11-6-28; Mele Johnson, Sr, F, 6-6-18; Claire O'Brien, Jr, F, 7-2-16; Katherine Zavez, Sr, B, 3-1-7.
Key Losses: Reba Magier, GK, 0.64 GAA, 86.7 save pct, 2nd team All-CC; Melissa Trofa, M, 1-13-15; Emily Telford-Marx, B, 2-1-5; Amanda Bosworth, B, 1-1-3.
Preseason Poll Projection: 1st
Outlook: The Garnet had a memorable 2015 season that almost ended in back-to-back Centennial titles and a trip to the NCAA Final Four. With the return of three first-team All-CC selections, Swarthmore is poised to improve on that performance this fall. Lichtenstein and McCoy combined for 27-20-74 up front last season, while Dougherty, Johnson and O'Brien added 24-14-62 for an offense that scored 83 times. Khanna is an All-American midfielder, while Saldivar picked up second-team All-CC honors. Zavez and Curran are the leaders of the defense. The goalkeeper job will be won in camp. The preseason coaches' favorite in the Centennial has the pieces to make another deep run in the national tournament

Erin Farrell, Ursinus

Ursinus (12-6-1, 7-3 CC, lost to Swarthmore 3-0 in Centennial semifinal)
Head Coach: Kelly Wakeman (Moravian '04), 5th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview

Centennial Titles (0)
Playoff Appearances (8): 2003-04-05-06-07-10-14-15

Key Losses: Paige Abronski, B, 1-3-5; Kelsey Shafer, B, 0-4-4; Julia Senkevich, M, 0-1-1.
Preseason Poll Projection: 5th
Outlook: The Bears made the CC playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2006-07 reaching the semifinal. The nucleus is present for Ursinus to make a playoff three-peat and make the next step. Farrell earned All-CC honors at forward and will be jloined by Groff and Sheahan who combined for eight goals as rookies. Jasinski was a second-team All-Conference middie who tallied 10 times last season. Budny is the leader of a defense that also returns Shoap and Sullivan, who turned away 80 percent of shots faced last fall. The Bears will contend for a Centennial title in 2016.

Olivia Sabatino, Washington College

Washington College (3-11-2, 0-9-1 CC, 11th place)
Head Coach: Kerry Smith (Nova Southeastern '06), 3rd season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2015 Statistics | Season Preview (8/26)
All-Time Record: 64-206-17

Key Returnees: Olivia Sabatino, Soph, F, 4-1-9; Ariana Sabatino, Soph, M, 0-2-2; Lexi Young, Jr, F, 1-2-4; Erin Smedley, Sr, M, 1-0-2; Maribeth Harrington, Jr, M, 0-2-2; Steph Scott, Jr, B; Lindsay Russell, Soph, M; Courtney Colbert, Soph., GK, 0.94 GAA, 81.5 save pct.
Key Losses: Emani Silva, M, 4-4-12; Melissa Barry, GK, 1.91 GAA, 75.0 save pct; Bailey Howard, M, 1-2-4; 
Preseason Poll Projection: 10th
Outlook: The Shorewomen suffered through some growing pains last season but hope that the experience means better things for 2016. O. Sabatino led the team in scoring a year ago and will be joined up front by Young. Smedley, Harrington and A. Sabatino are veteran midfielders, while Scott anchors the backline in front of Colbert who made five starts a year ago. Washington College may still be a year away from the playoffs but will cause problems in 2016.

Haidyn Weight, Bryn Mawr

Bryn Mawr (3-14, 1-9 CC, 10th place) - not competing for Conference title in 2016
