Coach: Gray Trafton (11th year)
Conference: MVC Class: C South
Last year’s record: 14-2, lost in regional semifinals
Returning players: Seniors — Emily Grandahl (M), Tia Day (F), Abbey Allen (D); Juniors — Kayla Brooks (D), Destiny Clough (G); Sophomores — Audrey Fletcher (F), Libby Clement (D), Jordyn Gowell (D).
Key losses: Hayley Fletcher, Izzy Lewis.
Promising newcomers: Sophomores — Anna Lewis (M), Natalie Grandahl (M); Freshmen — Alicen Burnham (F), Mya Sirois (M).
What to expect: The Mustangs will be relatively young this season, with just three seniors starting and one junior. Yet a big sophomore class does a good amount of experience from last year. Trafton doesn’t expect his team to score as much as last year, especially after graduating the program’s all-time leading scorer (Fletcher), but there is more experience at most positions on the field. The Mustangs hope to get farther in the playoffs this season.
