Coach: Chris Cifelli (ninth year)

Conference: KVAC Class: B

Last year: 5-7-2, lost in Western B quarterfinals

Returning players: Seniors — Livie Gilbert (FB), Emily Miller (FB);  Juniors — Lili Cousineau (F), Amanda Poulin (MF), Tessa Benson (F), Kristen Morrisette (F), Angela Daigle (G); Sophomores — Miranda Coombs (FB), Victoria DeCoster (MF), Shannon O’Malley (F).

Key losses: Kelsea Marschall, Tatianna Sierra, Melissa Richardson.

Promising newcomers: Seniors — Tori Sanford (FB), Abbie Gaudette (F), Brooke Keene (F); Sophomores — Emmalee Duguay (F), Carlee Long (F), Emily Thibodeau (MF); Freshmen — Nikki Daigle (F), Becca Fogg (FB), Sophie Gilbert (F).

Season outlook: Gilbert and Miller are both four-year players for the Hornets. Thought Leavitt is young, there is some experience returning and after making the playoffs last fall, the Hornets are hoping for more. Leavitt should be solid in both the defense and midfield, making the Hornets competitive with most of the KVAC field.
