Having finished in the runner-up spot each of the last four years Barker returns a large veteran group with which to again challenge for top Niagara-Orleans League field hockey honors.
Leading that veteran group are seniors Kaylee Stoll, Jordyn Kinne, Peyton Bradley, Sara Meza Ray, Sophia Gerhardt, Hailey Dodge and Madelina Pavlock.
Pavlock, who had 15 goals and 9 assists, earned first team N-O All-League honors last fall while Stoll and Kinne were second team honorees and Dodge an Honorable Mention selection.
The veteran contingent also includes juniors Brooke Weber, Ella Gancasz, Faith Bowerman, Lauren Zglinicki and Naomi Bish along with sophomores Elise Monaco, Adeline Atwater, Sophia Pavlock, Addisyn Weller, Jillian Maines and Milayna May.
“We do have a large group back with good experience so we’re hoping for a good season,” said Coach Karen Menz.
Barker, which went 9-3 in the league and 11-5 overall last fall, will open N-O competition at Wilson on Wednesday.
