Moorestown, coming off a season when it was 18-7 overall and 14-4 in the league in the Freedom Division, will have its first five players returning. Kravitz will have experience, scoring balance and an excellent defense.
All-conference center-forward Dana Hughes, who is 5-foot-9, will be counted on for inside scoring after averaging 11 points per game last season. Also, sophomore center-forward Renata Zapala, who averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds as a freshman, will provide inside strength, along with junior forward Janice Petrella, who averaged 9.0 points. In the backcourt, senior guards Jen Mazzucco, who averaged 12.0 points, and Becky Saba, who averaged 8.0 points, will keep opponents off balance.
Others expected to contribute include junior forward Jen Morris, senior guard Kate Zanger, junior guard Megan Guenther, sophomore forward Meredith Funston, sophomore forward Lisa Reid and freshman center Susie Funston.
Delran, coached by 13-year veteran Jim Weber, will have three returning starters and five letterwinners from an 18-6 team.
The offense will be perhaps the most potent in the league. All-conference guard-forward Micki Bailey, a senior, averaged 17 points last season, and junior all-conference center Melissa Roberts averaged 16 points.
Sophomore guard Nicole Johnson is capable of scoring in double figures, and senior forward Andrea Landis and senior center-forward Jan Sada can be dangerous as well. Junior guard-forward Meghan Schofield and junior guard Becky McKeen will also see playing time.
"Our scoring potential and experience should help us win a lot of games," said Weber, who has 258 victories. "The new league is well distributed as far as talent goes, and hopefully we'll be right in the middle of the race."
