Coach: Jon Blaisdell (fourth year)

Conference: KVAC Class: B

Last year: 9-5, lost in Western B prelims

Returning players: Seniors —  Vanese Barnes  (MF), Emily Keene (G), Megan Duval (F), Audrey Mercier (MF), Amia Pelletier (MF), Kailee Newcomb (MF), Paige Butterfield (FB); Juniors  — Alexa Perkins (F), Rylee Moore (FB), Amber Delaney (G).

Key losses: Hayley Doyen (F), Brittany Carrier (MF), Brianna Martin (FB).

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Allison Acritelli, Hanna St. Pierre,  Lauren Cornelio, Sydney Letalien.

Season outlook: The Phoenix graduated Doyen, an all-regional selection, but have much of last year’s club returning, including Barnes and Duval, both all-state regional players, as well. Spruce Mountain makes the jump to the KVAC, which will be a challenge, but the Phoenix have a seasoned group that could be competitive.
