Despite not making the finals, the Sharks had a lot of success to build on in year one. They went 2-0 in the regular season, and they’re largely bringing back the core that got them there. Salma Hany and Marina Stefanoni are both top 20 players who return to South Norwalk. Margot Prow and Hana Moataz also return. The Sharks’ added Torrie Malik and Lucia Bautista in the fifth and sixth rounds of the draft this year as well. Both are capable depth pieces should they need to be called upon. This team knows how to win, they just need to translate that into playoff success. They’ll be extra motivated to do so with the NSL Finals being hosted on their home courts.
