midfield. Freshman Lizzy Finkler could also steal time from an under-performing starter. At midfield, the tempo of the game will be keyed at the feet of Holly Sieradzki, (10g, 7a in ‘06) who was named to the All-County team. Currently being recruited to play college ball, the senior captain will have a bright season. She is flanked on the right by sophomore Vanessa Pino, who started along side Sieradzki in ‘06. At the left center position will be senior Chelsea Welsh, a new starter this season. She will split time with junior Elise Burnett, a starter in her freshman year who returns from a torn ACL in 2006. Rounding out the middies is Julianne Natale, who returns to the outside left position she played as a junior. Coming in as relief will be Szumilo, senior Michelle Cadena and junior Viola Gjoka, a natural athlete who also competes in Tae Kwon Do.
Up front, the Lady Mustangs will feature junior Kristina Cordova at one striker position, where she started last season. Jamie Lisante, another junior, is aiming for a position in either the midfield or up front. “Right now, she’s probably our left forward,” said Chilowicz, who teaches Chemistry at CHS. He added that freshman Megan Ferrara could see time in the attack. With experience in abundance, Chilowicz hopes his girls can improve upon last year and go deeper in the playoffs. Their post season included a loss in the semis of the Counties—Lakeland—and a second round defeat at the hands of Ridgewood, which was particularly hard to take. “Ridgewood, IHA and Montclair all went 2-0 against us last year,” said Chilowicz, adding what he expects from the Lady Mustangs. “This year, we want to split with them and go .500.”
