Girls' Water Polo Preview 2011
Coach: Heather Bridges, entering her first season as head coach
2010 record: 1-9-0
2010 recap: Due to a small team size and tough competition in the El Camino league, the Falcons had a tough 2010 season.
Star Players: Senior goalie Alison Knysh, Junior utility player Seralyn Fields, and Sophomore hole defender Nikki de Roos.
Key Departures: Hole defender Alison Buchanan, hole set Joyee Woodrow, hole defender Mackenzie Crase
Key Addition: Junior hole set Claire Schwartz
Key to Success: In order to perform better than last year, the Falcons are working on work on improving their offense, which was somewhat lacking last year. The larger team size this year also means more opportunities to switch out tired players, hopefully giving the team renewed strength during games. If they can maintain their defense and communicate with each other, they have the potential to become a threat to other teams in the league.
On the Upcoming Season: “We moved down a league, so we’re expecting a lot more wins [than last year]” - Junior Seralyn Fields
Key Number: 7. The number of new teams the Falcons will play this season after moving down from the El Camino to the De Anza Division.
