Season outlook: One year after nearly running the table, the Raiders are missing some all-state talent all over the field. That said, the hallmark of this year’s Raiders team will be its defense. With Abby Fuller in goal and sister Lexi helping to anchor the back end, expect the team to lean heavily on the defense. Transition through the middle will likely run through Hannigan and Pease in the middle, and Veilleux brings a veteran scoring presence to the front line. Coming off an unbeaten conference campaign, Oak Hill knows every team will be gunning for it this season.
