Coach’s Outlook for 2024: “We captured our 3rd consecutive District XI title last year and will work hard all season to put ourselves in position for a 4th. We graduated four senior starters who had tons of talent, experience, and leadership. Our senior midfielders (Reese MacIntosh and Sara Tesche) are four-year starters and we will lean on their on-the-field experience to lead what is a very young team. Our first- and second-year players are very talented and we will need them to make significant contributions if we expect to continue our run of recent success.”
