MANSFIELD, Pa. - With the Winter season just around the corner, the atmosphere of Mansfield athletics is starting to shift from the fields to the court. Marion Decker Gymnasium, however, has not been quiet, but filled with sounds of dribbling basketballs, squeaky shoes, and strong communication. These sounds are coming from a driven Mountaineers women's basketball team lead by Head Coach Amy Snefelder, ready to make a statement in the 2026-27 season.
Coaches Vision
Coach Senefelder enters her sixth season at the helm of the Mountaineers. She is surrounded by an ambitious and continually improving set of players, who strive to be the best version of themselves on the court.
The end goal, or the focus point of the season for Coach Senefelder is the playoffs. She has full confidence in her squad to put the Mounties over the mountain this season.
With returners who are bound to make a strong impact on the squad this year, and hungry newcomers ready to make their mark at Mansfield, this squad is ready for the challenges that will be thrown at them this season. The Mansfield newcomers have the advantage of already playing together in high school, giving the Mounties the advantage of team chemistry.
The Season to Come
The season tips off on Monday (Nov. 9) when they host their home opener at Marion Decker Gymnasium against St. Thomas Aquinas College for an early season, non-conference matchup. The Mountaineers will begin Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play on Dec. 4th (Friday) when they travel to face Lock Haven.
Star guard and reigning athlete of the year at Mansfield, Katie Sheeler, will return and seek to continue her dominance in the red and black.
28 total games, 14 home matchups, and 20 PSAC contests, will promise an exciting year for the Mounties and the fans.
