Coach: Jane DiPompo

Last year’s record: 10-4, lost in Western final

Returning letter winners:  Seniors — Kelsea Beisaw (F), Mallory Bonnevie (D), Eliza Gemelli (D), Anne Harvell (F), Shayna Meserve (F), Gina Nemi (F); Juniors — Hillary Chaney (D), Brittany DiPompo (D).

Key losses:  Emily Boivin, Betsy Gemelli, Katie Hall, Liz LeBlanc, Sierra Loon, Bryndi Richards,

Promising newcomers:  Juniors — Cassie Belliveau (F), Bri Farrington (F), Melissa Ladd (F), Lindsey Couture (HB); Sophomore — Ashley Quirrion (G).

Outlook: The Tigers managed to emerge from a rough and tough MVC last year and came within a minute of forcing OT in the Western title game. Several key contributors to that team have gone, but a robust junior class will be looked upon to fill those gaps this season. The Tigers return a solid defensive bunch, which will be charged with protecting new keeper Quirrion, only a sophomore. With 12 goals last year, Beisaw looks like the early go-to scoring forward.

Coach’s comment:

“Our six seniors will be our foundation this year, plus two returning juniors. We will look to the heavily-populated junior class and some underclassmen to fill in the holes left from graduation.” — Coach Jane DiPompo
