Coach: Alison Montgomery (fourth year)

Conference: NESCAC

Last year’s results: 7-17 overall, 1-9 in conference.

Returning players: Senior — Erika Lamere (1.1 points per game last season); Juniors — Melanie Binkhorst (10.3), Carly Christofi (injured); Sophomores — Julia Middlebrook (7.6), Skye Conley, Meredith Melendy, Olivia O’Regan, Taylor McVeigh (3.0).

Key losses: Emily Freedland, Lyse Henshaw, Nina Davenport.

Promising newcomers: Mia Roy, Meghan Graff, Grace Hoehl, Amaari Williams, Molly O’Brien, Sarah Bennett.

What to expect: Montgomery is excited to see what her young players can do. With seven freshmen joining her five sophomores, Montgomery finally has her recruits and is excited by the energy they’ve shown. The Bobcats this year have bought into Montgomery’s culture and have been putting in the extra work outside of practice. Lamere, finally healthy, should be able to contribute more as the team’s lone senior.
