MPC Swish Elite Fall '14

Coming off the spring season where the MPC Swish went unbeaten against every team they faced at their age level in New England, the girls look to use the fall season to gear up for their first high school season.

The Swish will return spring starters Ashley Sampson (Foxboro), Nicole Gallagher (Bishop Feehan), Kaitlyn Guenet (Cardinal Spellman), Tess Sussman (Rivers) and Anna Shaughnessy (Bishop Feehan). Sampson is the quarterback of this exciting unit, while Nicole Gallagher and Anna Shaughnessy provide the bulk of the scoring. Guenet is the glue player, that leads the pressing attack and is an improved scorer. Sussman is an extremely talented player (perhaps best in the state) that can play any position and consistently sets up her teammates for easy buckets.

Kaylin Reen (Norwood) is back for her team-leading 8th season with the team and figures to be one of the catalysts off the bench, with her sharp shooting and high basketball IQ. Swish staples Lily Sykes (Foxboro) and Kiera Fernandes (Franklin) are also back in the fold. Sykes is a two-sport stud that plays big minutes for FHS varsity soccer, but when available is an instant game changer. Unfortunately, Fernandes will start the season on the injured list with an ankle injury. Swish will miss her versatility and power game. Shannon Lynch (Bridgewater-Raynham) is back for her third season with the team and has gotten consistently better each season with her shot and ball handling ability.  

The Swish made two big additions this fall. Erika Ochenduszko (Rockland) and Megan Hill (Mansfield) join the team and will bolster the front line. Ochenduszko is a multi-talented post player that has the ability to score with her back to the basket or face up, and also has the ability to step out and knock down the three-ball. Hill is a 6'2 post player that can dominant the glass on both ends and is an extremely good passer for her size, while at times is too unselfish. Both players figure to be major contributors immediately.
