Coach: Scott Wing (third year)
Last year’s record: 8-11, lost in Western C prelim
Returning players: Seniors — Melissa Brassard (5-7 guard/forward), Danielle Bumann (5-4 guard), Brianna Hicks (5-5 guard/forward), Daisi Poole (5-4 guard/forward), Sierra Spencer (5-6 forward); Juniors — Ashley Coulombe (5-3 guard), Kylie Kemp (5-6 guard/forward), Paxton Lessard (5-5 guard), Krystin Kemp (5-8 forward), Amanda Anair (5-6 forward).
Key losses: Kristine Kahl (forward), Molly Menice (guard), Colby Wilson (guard).
Promising newcomers: Sophomores — Caroline Bonenfant (5-4 guard), Jenna Davies (5-7 forward); Freshmen — Haley West (5-7 forward), Sidney Wilson (5-4 guard).
Outlook: The Mustangs lost four players to soccer injuries last year. Spencer, Hicks, Bumann and Coulombe all return and join the veterans that nearly won a prelim game and reached the quarterfinals in Augusta. Monmouth should be competitive again and make a push for a playoff berth.
Coach’s comment: “Returning four experienced players, who each missed last season, we are working to find what each person’s role will be for the upcoming season.” — Coach Scott Wing.
