Outlook: “Last year, we graduated 10 seniors most of which had the experience of playing at the varsity level for three or four years. This year, there is a lot of competition for vacant positions. Our First Goal for the year is to repeat as SOL Patriot League Champs. Several of our returning players had a key role in our success last year. Forward Kylie Maxwell (Jr) who was our leading goal scorer (24) last year will be back as well as her sister Taylor Maxwell (Jr) who played center back. Also returning is Abby Collins (Jr) holding down the central midfield and Carly Hock-Smith (Sr) as our central defender. We see so much potential from many players on the team and we are excited to see what they can do.”
