Here’s a preseason look at the Lower Merion High School boys’ soccer team,
which is coming off a strong 2012 season and is looking to contend again in the
Central League this fall:
Head coach: Nico Severini, fourth year.
Last year’s record: 13-5-1 overall, 8-2-1 Central League (second place.)
Key returnees: Senior defender David Baer, senior midfielder Daniel Buckman,
senior midfielder Tyler Robinson, senior midfielder Eli Cohen, junior defender
Gian-Luca Hail.
Others to watch: Junior midfielder Evan Wolf, junior goalie Will Rosenbaum,
junior defender Greg Kastein.
Lost to graduation: Midfielder Matt Lindheim.
Outlook: Severini said, “Our team’s strengths are its solidarity and strong
attitudes. We work as a team and everyone looks to work hard and improve. We
have a group of players who are leaders on and off the soccer field. The keys to
success this season will be adapting to a new roster and playing in a very good
Central League.’
