Coach: Aaron Rand (sixth year)
Last year’s record: 5-8-1
Returning players: Seniors — Jen Powell (MF), Anna Bolduc (MF), Makayla Dube (F), Tanisha Elston (FB); Juniors — Ashley Marchesseault (FB), Emma-Jane Turton (F), Paxton Arsenault (FB), Sophie Spiller (MF); Sophomores — Lindsay Theriault (FB), Emily Bolduc (F), Delaney Woodford (FB).
Key losses: Kate Bridgham (MF), Cassie Mocciola (G), Steph Sirois (MF), Emily Bertrand (FB), Sarah Rushing (F).
Promising newcomers: Juniors — Katie Letourneau (MF), Johanna Moody (FB), Sarah Mickool (FB), Brittina Maheux (FB); Sophomore — Val Ashcroft (F); Freshmen — Jessie Quint (FB), Haley Whitworth (G).
Outlook: The Knights have a young squad with just four seniors but have eight starters back. Spiller and Turton were both all-WMC players last fall. Poland faces a tough WMC schedule but hope to pick up enough wins to draw a tourney spot.
Coach’s comment: “We will compete for a playoff spot in Western B. We have good team speed and our two top scorers from last year return. If we play well in front of our freshman keeper, we will surprise some teams and get into the tournament.” Coach Aaron Rand.
