Although the Towson Generals' girls lost seven seniors to graduation, six of whom were starters, coach Deedee Franke is optimistic that her squad still can contend for its second straight Baltimore County title.


Franke hopes "that a strong group of sophomores and juniors will step up to the challenge," adding that three solid junior goal keepers will share duties.
