GROVE CITY COLLEGE SEASON PREVIEW 2013 SEASON PREVIEW Grove City Looking For Fourth Straight CWPA Division III Crown As the Grove City College women's water polo team prepares for the 2013 season, no one would be surprised if the team chose "four" as its magic number for the upcoming campaign. The youthful Wolverines return four letterwinners from last year's 18-8 performance. Grove City will also be in pursuit of its fourth consecutive Collegiate Water Polo Association Division III title this spring. Meanwhile, Rachel Griepsma enters her first season as the fourth head coach in program history. While the 2013 Wolverines will be a relatively young squad, the team does feature experience in key positions. In goal, senior Amanda Johnston returns for her fourth year as the starter. Johnston earned Honorable Mention All-America honors as a junior and has earned multiple All-CWPA Division III citations throughout her career. She posted a .646 save percentage last year and will again anchor the Grove City defense. Junior Kristi Baur has emerged as one of Grove City's most versatile players during her first two seasons. Sophomore Lauren Hulsebus made an immediate impact as a rookie in 2012, helping Grove City capture the conference title. Sophomore Jocelyn Hinkle racked up 38 goals and 47 assists as a freshman. She is a returning starter and letterwinner for Grove City. Last year, she fired in 27 goals and finished second on the team with 43 assists. A defensive stalwart, Baur also had 48 steals. Two sophomores return after making significant contributions last year: Jocelyn Hinkle and Lauren Hulsebus. Hinkle led Grove City with 47 assists and also pumped in 38 goals. Hinkle also finished second on the team in steals with 56. Hulsebus led Grove City's newcomers with 41 goals and is the top returning scorer for the Wolverines. She also assisted on 35 goals and will likely be a key offensive source in 2013. The Wolverines will also be augmented by the addition of junior transfer Lauren Burrows, who earned two letters at former CWPA Division III rival Chatham. She will likely be a key factor at both ends of the pool this season. Several newcomers are also expected to contribute this year for the Wolverines. Grove City opens the 2013 season March 1-2 by hosting an invitational in the James E. Longnecker Pool. 4
