Outlook: Our goal is to build on the success the team had in previous years. We are coming back with a strong junior and senior group with sophomores to take on new roles. Returning captain Amanda Green is leading the way in the midfield, and senior returner Grace Franchini playing solid defense in the back. Junior Kylee Hager is leading our forward line with strong offensive skills for the third straight year with captain Megan Rafter taking control of the center field at defensive midfielder. With a brand new staff and brand new home field, we are looking to have a winning season and a good run into the playoffs.”
