We have a core group of five seniors who have been varsity contributors since their freshmen year: First Team All-League player Gracie Buchholz (Sr.), First Team All-League Natalie Rittler (Sr.), Second Team Bella Navo, Honorable Mention Gabi Maletta and starting Jr. goalkeeper Grace Bell brings her 3 years of experience to the Spartan defense. Bringing stability to the defensive line is Jr. Paige Pizzica. The entire team is showing promise for the upcoming season.”
