At Tuscarora High School, the annual question regarding the Girl’s Soccer team is not will they be successful, but has become how successful will they be.  With three state championships in the program's first seven years of varsity competition, including a state title and two region titles in the past two years, the Titans look to once again compete for the treble, expecting to be in the hunt for conference, region, and state titles.  With eight returning starters from the 2010 campaign, an impact transfer, seventeen returning varsity players, and a handful of talented newcomers,  the Titans enter the season excited about the prospects that the 2011 campaign will bring.

The 2011 Titans schedule will once again prepare them for a strong playoff run  The schedule is highlighted by the Titans annual Tournament of Champions and a demanding MVAL Piedmont Conference schedule.  In the Tournament of Champions, the Titans will face seven-time state champion River Hill and two-time state champion Quince Orchard.  The Titans most recent meetings with these two sides include an overtime victory over River Hill in the state semifinals on the way to the 2005 state championship and a victory over Quince Orchard in the region finals on the way to the 2009 state championship.  As always, the MVAL Piedmont conference schedule may provide the most competitive conference schedule in the state.  The conference schedule includes games against Middletown (2010 2A State Champions), Oakdale (2010 1A State Champions), Thomas Johnson (2010 4A State Semifinalist and 2-time State Champion), and Urbana (2007 3A State Champion).  The non-conference scheduled will be highlighted by the Titans early season match at pre-season state title contender Century.

The Titans potent attack will be led by a duo of dangerous strikers who have combined for 55 goals over the past two years.  2-time All-State junior forward Aaran Parry returns as a focal point of the Titan attack.  She has recorded 34 goals and 18 assists in her first two seasons and possesses a combination strength, speed, and creativity which arguably make her the most dangerous front runner in the state.  Joining her up top is senior transfer Jasmine Dao.  A 3-year starter at Frederick, Dao recorded 21 goals over the past two years and was an All-MVAL selection for the Cadets.  Her combination of tremendous speed and a lethal left foot make her a threat anytime she enters the final third.  Expectations for the duo are high following a preseason in which the two have quickly developed strong connection in their play.  Junior Tiffani Grubbs provides depth up front and provides intelligent target play as a player who can help hold the ball up for the side.

In the midfield junior captain Emily Marshall will lead the side.  A third year starter, Marshall has recorded 3 goals and 15 assists in her first two years and becomes the foundation of the side following the graduation of All-State midfielder Claire Kelly.  Marshall, a member of the Region 1 ODP Team, brings tremendous vision and creativity to the role and is expected to have a breakout season in becoming one of the premier players in the area.  Senior Katie King returns to the midfield as a starter for the third year and will once again bring an unparalleled level of athleticism to the middle third of the field which allows her to dominate the game with ball winning and energy.  Her tremendous pace makes her threat going forward and she will look to improve on the 4 goals and 5 assists that she recorded in 2010.  Senior Jillian Kosenski, Junior Miranda Malagari, and sophomores Hayley Hoagland and Kenna Gubler are in competition for the final two spots in the midfielder and all bring different personalities that will benefit the side in different ways.  Hoagland is developing into a strong physical defensive presence in the middle of the park and provides balance to the midfield.  Kosesnki has vaulted herself into a major role with a combination of strength and speed which has an impact in the middle third of the field.  Her strong left sided service makes her dangerous in the final third.  Malagari has excelled both in the center of the park as well as out wide with strong technical play and vision while Gublers dynamic athletic ability enable her to be a strong two way player in the midfield.  Providing depth in the midfield will be sophomore Caitlin Miller and freshmen Ashley Toy who will split time between the varsity and junior varsity sides.

The Titans expect to once again lineup a dominant back four in 2011 as they will field the most experienced group in program history with a trio of seniors and one junior patrolling the back third. Seniors Allison Shankle and Kelsey Fletcher are three year starters.  Shankle, a second year captain, will lead the side from her center back position and brings a physical, athletic presence to the side.  Fletcher returns to her right back position where she has developed into an intelligent, disciplined defender who also provides outstanding service into the attacking third.  Senior Kelly Jacobson and junior Ashley Babco are second year starters who bring a strong technical component to the back four.  Sophomore Brianna Miller has had a strong preseason and will see time throughout the back four as she will be groomed as the future leader of the Titans defense.  Freshmen Angelica Alicea will provide depth in the back for the Titans.  An outstanding athlete who possesses the technique to be a danger out of the back, Alicea will train with varsity while splitting time between the varsity and JV side as she gains experience.

Senior Elizabeth Ulan returns to the Titan net following a junior season in which she recorded ten shutouts and only allowed twelve goals in eighteen games.  Continued growth has led to expectations for even a stronger senior year.  Freshmen Meghan Laser, a Maryland ODP product, has had a strong preseason, earning minutes in support of Ulan as she prepares for a strong future in the Titan net.  The depth in goal will serve as a significant strength for the Titans in 2011.
