Coach: Skip Capone (second year)
Conference: KVAC; Class: A
Last year’s record: 7-5, lost in East A quarterfinal
Returning athletes: Seniors — Nora Schlax, Lauren Lepage, Haley Lebel, Erika Thibault, Emily Brochu, Paige Fontaine, Savanna Maheux; Juniors — Kristina Blais, Alasia Branche; Sophomores — Moragn Eliasen, Kaitlyn Beckwith, Allison Frechette.
Key losses: Laurianne Murphy, Jess Cote, Sam Cote, Sierra Thistlewaite, Michaela St. Laurent.
Promising newcomers: Junior — Meagan Murphy; Sophomores — Tawni Zamrock, Dacia Bail, Julia St. Laurent.
Season outlook: The Blue Devils will have a big hole to fill in the cage, as all-conference goalie Sam Cote is now in college, but an experienced core of defenders will help that transition. Blais and Frechette should lead the attack this season. The Devils are deep, with 46 players out for the team this season, and should again be in the playoff mix.
