Four players were returning, five came up from JV, and two were new to the team. For junior Jenni Werner, this was her third year on Varsity.

Coached by Phil Lough, the team worked together to do well this season. Sophomore Melisa Blackmore said, The whole team is really ambitious and we try real hard to do our best.
