Coach: Chris Cifelli (fifth year)
Last year: 8-4-3, lost in Western Class B quarterfinals
Returning players: Seniors – Brianna Hammond (MF), Abbey Randall (MF), Shannon Clarke (FB), Kayla Richardson (FB), Therese Raymond (FB), Ashley Dionne (FB); Juniors – Tori Zupancic (MF), Danielle DuBois (MF), Sarah Frost (FB); Sophomores – Mariah Treadwell (ST), Jenna Cote (ST), Sydney Nadeau (MF), Alex Hudner (FB), Desiree Tweedie (ST).
Key losses: Hailee Mulherin (FB), Paige Landry (ST), Kendra Ray (MF).
Promising newcomers: Junior – Taren McGray (MF); Freshmen – Kelly Pomerleau (G), Tatiana Sierra (FB), Kelsea Marschall (ST).
Outlook: The Hornets earned their first playoff berth last year outside of an open season. Leavitt returns most of that team, including all-state forward Zupancic and all-conference midfielder Hammond. Leavitt has most of its defense back and a strong and experienced midfield that could make the Hornets a team to watch.
