Coach: Chip Smith (second year)

Conference: EWC Class: D

Last year: 5-6-3, lost in Western D quarterfinals

Returning players: Seniors — Taylor Esty (MF), Seve Deery-DeRaps (FB), Valerie Roy Lessard (SW); Juniors — Blayke Morin (MF), Michaela Shorey (MF), Maddison Egan (F); Freshman — Natasha Haley (SK).

Key losses: Tori Letarte.

Promising newcomers: Freshman — Sydney Royce (G)

Season outlook: The Lakers graduated just one senior and return most of a team that earned a playoff spot last fall. DeRaps is out of the lineup with an injury and her return is uncertain. Royce in goal has allowed Esty to move into the field. Rangeley has a group that has some playoff seasoning in a variety of sports and could make some noise in Western D.
