Coach: Corenna Dick (second year)

Conference: WMC  Class: B

Last year: 0-13

Returning players: Senior — Sara Carder (F); Sophomores — Skye Conley (M), Jenny Holmquist (B).

Promising newcomers: Sophomores — Alicia Dumont (M), Cara Waltz (F), Phoebe Stritch (B); Freshman — Allie Martell (F).

Season outlook: After building through some tough stretches the past couple of years, an influx of talent in the younger grades combined with a few returning veterans should help the Patriots into the win column this season. Look for the team to begin its rebound to WMC relevance.
