’15 Mustang Varsity chosen

Trabuco Hills Girls Lacrosse will defend its South Coast League title with a veteran 2015 Varsity squad featuring nine seniors and 11 returning letter winners.

Coach Scott Leong announced the roster after tryouts were held on Dec. 6. Among the first-year Varsity players are two freshmen — Juliet Mooney and Adriana Shutler — plus senior Kaylyn Voytilla and juniors Kody Shelton and Ashley Murillo.

The Mustang Varsity had its best-ever season last year, going 17-3; winning league for the second time in four years; making the playoffs for the eighth consecutive years; and winning a first-round playoff match for the second consecutive year.

“The coaching staff is excited about 2015 with this roster,” Leong said. “The Varsity team was kept as lean as practical to put the strongest team forward for the season.”
