Coach: Elaine Derosby (10th year)

Last year’s record: 10-7, lost in Eastern A quarterfinals

Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Kory Norcross 1B, Danny Rock SS, Kennedy Hubbard OF, Emily Schario P/OF, Hannah Farrington DP/OF; Juniors — Brooke Reynolds OF/2B, Hannah Smith OF, Calli Murray 2B/OF, Molly Murray P/OF;  Sophomores — Sarah Hammond 3B/2B, Karli Stubbs C/3B.

Promising newcomers:  Freshman — Jordyn Reynolds 1B/DP/OF.

Season outlook: EL returns 11 regulars from a team that won 10 games in what was supposed to be a building year last year. Norcross, Rock, Hubbard and Schario are four-year starters. Norcross, Rock and Hammond were all-conference picks last year. EL proved it could compete with the best teams last year and has most of that team back. Expectations are high and hopes are that these Red Eddies could be in the thick of things at season’s end.
