Coach: Bill Acritelli (first year)
Conference: MVC Class: B South
Last year’s record: 2-12
Returning players: Seniors — Allison Acritelli (F/G), Hanna St. Pierre (M), Alexa Harmatys (F), Rhylie Bubier (M), Lauren Cornelio (D), Cecelia McDonald (M), Sara Durrell (D/M), Sydney Letalien (D); Juniors — Moreland Brochu (M), Sierra Mitchell (F), Calley Baker (M/F), Anna Bradford (D); Sophomores — Grace Harmatys (M/D), Riley Gray (D), Jaycee Cole (F), Annabelle Collins (G/M).
Key loss: Alana Cole
Promising newcomer: Freshman — Emily Baker (M/D).
What to expect: The Phoenix have switched from the KVAC to the MVC this season, and Acritelli — who moves over from the boys’ program — said it’s a move from one tough conference to another. Playing in the KVAC gave Spruce Mountain good competition, but the MVC won’t be a cakewalk either. The roster is full of experience, and if the Phoenix can control possession they have a chance to be successful in their first season in the new conference.
