Coach: Kiaran McCormack (third year)

Conference: WMC Class: B

Last year: 7-7

Returning players: Seniors — Zoe Adams (G), Maria Valente (FB/MF), Ashley Moreau (MF), Caitlin Holmquist (MF), Michaela MacDonald (FB), Emily Hotham (FB/MF), Anisa Hayman (MF/FB), Karla Shufelt (F), Kiersten Stritch (FB).

Key losses: Anna Knapp (G/FB), Julia Martell (F/MF), Julia Ritter (FB/MF), Angelina Lacarrubba (MF).

Season outlook: The Patriots graduated Martell, an all-state midfielder, but return an experienced group including Adams in goal and Valente and Moreau in the midfield. The team fell short of the playoffs last fall. Many of the players were on the team that made the tourney in 2012 and hope to earn a tourney spot this year.
