Coach: Jason Perreault (first year)

Last year’s record: 3-8-3

Returning players: Seniors — Kaitlyn Armstrong (G), Chrissy Briggs (F), Jamaica Ford (F), Ari Glover (ST), Hannah LaPointe (F), Kirstin Ridge (MF), Mercedes Gurney (FB); Juniors — Darby Brown (F), Alicia Provencher (G), Abby Day (FB), Tori Giberson (FB), Autumn Koch (SW), Zariya Simard (MF), Sarah Soubble (FB); Sophomores —  Elizabeth Adley (F), Stephanie Cushman (MF), Shannon Laubauskas (MF), Katie Puiia (MF), Kaitlyn Virgin (F).

Key losses:  Lindsay Gallant (MF), Taryn Carlson (MF), McKenzie Paterson (F), Hannah Daigle (FB), Breana Roberts (G).

Promising newcomers:  Sophomores — Katie Collette (MF), Jena Plourde (G), Marissa Martel (MF/FB); Freshman — Sarah Klein (MF/F).

Outlook: Gallant and Paterson were both all-conference players. Still, the Falcons return seven that saw starting time last year with Briggs, Ford, Glover, LaPointe, Ridge, Day and Koch all back.  LaPointe also earned all-MVC honors. Between an experienced group of upperclassmen and a significant number of newcomers, the Falcons are poised to improve on last year.
