Coach: Brittany Chadbourne (second year)
Last year’s record: 1-12-1
Returning players: Seniors — Bri Hodgkins (B), Sandy Wilson (B); Juniors — Emily Akers (B), Bailee Ayers (F), Livannah Vieira (F); Sophomores — Abby Dodge (F), Autumn Frechette (F), Sadie Goulet (F), Heather Hannigan (MF), Michaela Hild (D), Heather Krook (F), Hayley Marshall (F), Courtney Roy (F), Danielle Samson (MF), Kayla Veilleux (MF).
Key loss: Ashley Ward (G).
Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Abby Fuller (G), Megan Labbe (G), Brooke Surette (D), Kylee Veilleux (F), Jordan Webster (D), Mikayla Nadeau (D).
Outlook: The Raiders may be the youngest team in their new conference, the MVC, with only two seniors and three juniors on the roster. Both goalies are freshmen, and the team is dominated by a deep sophomore class that has played together for many years at the youth level. Goulet provided much of the scoring punch in 2011, scoring both goals in the Raiders’ lone victory over Maranacook. In its first taste of what the new competition will be like, Oak Hill beat Mountain Valley and played well against Dirigo in the preseason.
Coach’s comment: “We are excited. Pretty much all the sophomores played a lot last year.” — Coach Brittany Chadbourne
