These 3 sophomore starters
have been the corner stone of Needham’s success (11-3-1) in the very
competitive Bay State League.
Nora directs the
offense from the attacking central midfield position with deft passing and
outstanding ball control. Alex has drawn the assignment of marking the top
strikers of every opponent this season, including US U16 National team player
Amy Caldwell. Melissa returning from a pre-existing injury has come back to
form and anchors the defensive midfield to lead our transition game out of the
defensive 3rd and providing offensive support in the attacking 3rd.
Nora, Alex, and Melissa are collectively one of the critical
success factors that has turned the Needham High School Varsity program around
from the 2004 3-12-3 season.
