Coach: Don Boucher (fourth year)

Last year’s record: 18-1 (State champions)

Returning players: Seniors — Jenna Fongemie (D), Nicole Keaney (G), Kate LeCompte (F), Meagan Hargraves (F), Emily Briggs (F); Juniors — Kayla McLellan (F), Kellie McLellan (F), Emily Poulin (D).

Key losses: Marisa Zamrock, Sophie Goulet, Lauren Ratsep, Anna Desjardin.

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Taylor Bergeron, Jacqueline Schmitz, Kymberlee Johnson.

Outlook: There is no doubt the Saints lost the backbone of their state title team, with its so-called “big three” all graduating or moving on. There is a good core of players remaining from last year’s run to the title, but it will be hard for them to duplicate what happened a year ago with the lack of obvious firepower. That said, by the end of the season, don’t be surprised to see the Saints clamoring for a playoff berth.

Coach’s comment: “It’s going to be back to basics a bit this year, but given a little bit of time, I think this group will realize it can compete, too.” — Coach Don Boucher
