FPN 18U Super 60 Rankings: No. 21 through No. 25 Breakdown
NO. 21 / GOLD COAST HURRICANES 18U
The Hurricanes played a tough 2018 summer schedule highlighted by a T-5th place finish at the JO Cup. Gold Coast also completed in the IDT Colorado and Triple Crown Nationals tournaments; recording 33rd place finishes in both. This veteran roster was comprised of an almost fully committed group of student-athletes and carried a good mix of 2018 and 2019 graduates. The Hurricanes are posed for another successful season as it will return a solid core group of 2019 graduates.
Key Players:
- Hannah Sipos (2018) Florida
- Brianna Enter (2019) Florida State
- Katherine Rodriguez (2019) FIU
- Lindsey Garcia (2019) Auburn
- Marisa Soterakis (2018) Upstate
- Jannay Jones (2018) North Dakota

Kevin O’Donnell is known for creating highly talented and competitive teams time and time again. Jersey Intensity capped a strong weekend of play at PGF Premier finishing 5th and place two of its student-athletes in the PGF All-Star game (Lexi Blair, Lacey Fincher). A large portion of KOD’s roster will graduate but a strong core of talented athletes will remain to step into new leaderships roles. Intensity also has a number of talented athletes and teams across all age divisions so look for KOD Premier to reload and continue on with its tradition of success.

NO. 23 / OHIO HAWKS 18U GOLD
A well balanced roster of widely committed student-athletes propelled the Ohio Hawks 18U to a successful season of consistent play capped by a 2nd place finish at the JO Cup. With a team made up of seven 2019, five 2020, and one 2021 graduates you can expect to see the Hawks return strong in 2018-2019 posed for an even stronger season. The Ohio Hawks organization also has strong teams in the younger divisions so 18U Gold will have a large pool of talented players to continually reload from for the foreseeable future.

- Grace Gressly (2019, C/3B) Wright State
- Sydney Larson (2019, MIF/P) Ohio

The Aces’ student-athletes all have a long list of impressive accomplishments and commitments with many of them not graduating until 2019.
