Coach: Dave Kaplan (first year)

Last year’s record: 7-8, lost in Western C preliminary

Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Paxton Lessard P, Sabrina Beck C, Kylie Kemp Inf, Krystin Kemp Inf; Juniors — Becky Bryant P/OF, Shannon Buzzell Inf, Caroline Bonenfant Inf; Sophomore — Mikayla Cameron Inf/OF.

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Madi Neal, Caleigh Copeland

Season outlook: Kaplan takes over after taking two seasons off following a lengthy stint at Hall-Dale. The Mustangs have some experience back in key places but are still young, with seven freshmen on the team. Monmouth will have some inexperience but have enough seasoned talent to keep them competitive in the MVC.
