Coach: Jody Harmon (first year)

Last year’s record: 4-9-1

Returning players: Senior — Alyssa Williams (MF/D); Juniors — Sarita Crandall (F/MF), Kyrie Harnden (D), Mikayla Oswald (F), Krista McLatchy (F), Rileigh Blanchet (G), Hanna Deon (F/MF); Sophomores — Victoria Newbill (MF), Taylor Hollingdale (MF), Jenna Bullen (MF), Erynn Hiscock (MF/D).

Key losses: Meghan Bullen (F), Corinne Dingley (B), Heather Farrington (MF), Nichole Tracy (B), Taylor Harris (B), Casey Gaboury (G).

Promising newcomer: Freshman — Emilee Eustis (F).

Outlook: New coach Harmon describes her roster as lean in numbers, but fit, as it returns to the Eastern Class B fray after dropping from Class A in 2011. There is still only one senior on the roster. The Cougars expect to be a solid team at both ends of the field. Passing and positioning have been points of emphasis during the early season.

Coach’s comment: “The players are determined and improving everyday and plan to take home more wins than last year.” — Coach Jody Harmon
