Depth is provided with talented youngsters such as sophomore Izzy DeLorenzo who is always a spark off the bench at any number of positions, and junior Tatiana Cunha.

The sturdy and reliable starting Back 4 are senior Valentina Somoza and junior Aanya Davitt on the inside and junior Emma Labrunda and sophomore Alexa Cunha (Tatiana's sister) on the outside in front of strong sophomore goalkeeper Isabella Rajiv.

Continuing to find ways to win the close matches will continue to be the key for the Mount, as it is the case for any soccer side in a sport where one opportunistic play or perhaps a miscue in the 18-yard area can prove decisive.

The Lions have had another regular season SEC match go to overtime when they edged an always dangerous Glen Ridge, 2-1.

“We can always do even better and of course we know that the pressure of playing in the county or state tournaments is always going to be there as you continue to try and advance,” said Del Veccho. “And, I also know that our girls are very determined to make this a special season and I’m excited to see how far they can take us in the next few weeks.”
