Marblehead girls tennis returns experience MARLBEHEAD From B1 The main objective for Ackerman, who is entering her third season with Marblehead, is to figure out her start- ing lineup. She has two of her singles spots locked in with Shub at No. 1 and Porath at No. 2, but there’s still an open question about who will be No. 3. Likterov will take her rightful place as one half of the No. 1 doubles pairing, but there’s a number of girls who are vying for the other three doubles positions. Junior sisters Cahill and Canaan Whittier were a great duo last season, but may be split up this year. Also knocking on the door of the starting lineup are sophomores Tess Keaney and Jessie Munroe. “It’s going to be tough, because we have so many girls who can contribute,” said Ackerman. “They’ve all had a lot of success with us already, so it’s up to me to put them all in a position where they can continue to have success and also help the team as much as possible.” The Magicians will once again play a tough schedule to prepare for their hopeful tournament run. Games against Lynnfield, Manchester-Essex, Newburyport and Winchester highlight the difficult path. “It’s definitely going to be a tough non-conference schedule for us this year, and the NEC is also going to be better so we have to stay focused,” said Ackerman. “Our first goal is always to win the NEC, and that’s not going to change now.” Marblehead opens up the season Tuesday afternoon ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK (4) against NEC foe Winthrop.

Last year at the end, we put a scare into several good teams and proved that if we play good, clean softball, we can play with anyone, so I’m hoping that’s what we will see this year from the start.” With Ganter moving into the circle, the only open position is first base and freshman Sadie Gearan has emerged as the leading candidate. “She’s a hockey player and is a very good athlete,” said Marinelli. “She has lots to learn but so far has looked good at first.” Another promising newcomer is sophomore Jenna Brodigan, who Marinelli said is versatile and capable of playing multiple positions. The Pioneers have only two non-league games on their schedule, both against East Boston. Their season begins next Wednesday at East Boston (3:45).
