The Falmouth girls will be looking to put a 14 year title drought in the rearview mirror this fall, as the Yachtsmen return a talented squad that is coming off a thrid place finish in the Class A state meet in 2013. Falmouth who won 3 consecutive Class C titles 1998-2000, moved to Class A last fall, and handled the step up in Class without a hitch. They return 5 of their top 7 from a year ago so the experience and talent is deep.
Leading the way for Falmouth this fall will be Vishva Nalamalapu who as a sophomore a year ago finished 16th in the state meet, behind her Antoinette Lambert who was a freshman placed 20th. Mira Wyman who finished 33rd last fall as a freshman give the Yachtsmen a strong pack. Unfortunately the 3rd fastest returner Alexa Hoffman is studying aboard this semester but Coach Paul says seniors Emily Rioux,Maggie Lento, Alta Farrell, Ania Wright plus juniors Gina Pardi & Paige Chamberlain along with sophomore Gabby Farrell 10 give Falmouth plenty of depth.
Falmouth also has a big squad so the potential for newcomers to have an impact is always there Expect London Bernier, Hannah Berzinis, Maddy Adams and Heidi Meyer to make a push to make in into the varsity this fall.
Coach Paul Says...
Unlike the Boys , the girls are mostly underclassmen with a good mix of experienced seniors. We have good depth overall. It should be a positive battle among a group of girls to be the #1 and #2 etc. We hope exceed last years strong performances: WMC champs , 2nd States , qualifying for NEs.
