Mindset can be everything and for the Haverford High girls, their sights have been zeroed in on one game at a time.
“Every game we go into it thinking it’s a new game,” standout senior Caroline Dotsey said. “So it’s really important to us that we don’t get ahead of ourselves and kind of stay humble. Everyone’s kind of kept that mindset. That’s kind of how we have to look at it.
This has become increasingly difficult as the Fords have kept a perfect record through the first 16 games of the season. They carried this into a tough matchup with Springfield (Delco.), who has grown into one of the team’s biggest rivals. The Cougars, always a threat in the Central League, are also in the midst of a successful year and entered the game just one game back in the league standings, Ky McNichol’s group playing its usual brand of defensive-minded ball to great success.
