Outlook: Phillipsburg has a young group of talented players to go along with six seniors, including four who have been in the program for four years (Emily Carducci, Morgan Weindel, Lauren Brown and Bri Guarino). The Stateliners have been working on team chemistry, and trying to create an environment where anyone can step up and excel on a given night. Former assistant Jim Manning has taken over on the sideline this winter as Nicole Savino Fulmer and her husband welcomed their first child in late November.
From Coach Manning: “Our league is stacked with talented, state-ranked teams (Rutgers Prep, Gill St. Bernard’s, Franklin) and we will look to compete each night. This competition will prepare us and hopefully make us better as the season progresses.”
