PREP PREVIEW: GIRLS’S SOCCER : The Teams To Watch : EDISON

Coach: Kerry McGrath (second year).

1991-92: 16-5-6, 8-0-2 in league; won league title, lost to Dana Hills in the first round of Division 4-A playoffs, 2-0.

Key returners: Erin Bailey, Jr., halfback; Stephanie Hinkey, Sr., goalkeeper; Michelle Kaping, Jr., halfback; Julie Koudelka, Jr., defender; Shellee Stucker, Jr., sweeper; Lynne Thiel, Sr., halfback; Michelle Turner, Jr., halfback; Christine Tyler, Jr., forward, Sunset League offensive player of the year; Maili Williams, Sr., forward.

Key newcomers: Shawna Itri, Fr., forward; Tammi Letterman, So., forward.

Outlook: Edison lost 13 players to graduation, but it won’t hurt much because most weren’t starters. Five Chargers were members of a club team that finished third in the under-16 national championship last summer. The team is reacting well to a tough conditioning program, which includes a mandatory two-mile time trial. “Last year, hardly anyone passed the first time,” McGrath said. “This year, most of them passed. I was pretty happy about that.”
