Coach: Sara Thurston (third season)

Last year’s record: 13-6, lost in Western C final

Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Bryce Parent, Britney Ellis, Destiny Newton; Juniors — Ellen Wainwright, Megan Bradbury, Kelsey Hutchins; Sophomores —  Emma Lueders, Lauren Henderson, Kenzie Lord, Katelyn Olsen.

Promising newcomers:  Junior — Kaitlin Morang; Sophomores — Mariah LaFleur, Ellie Jasper, Summer Bradbury; Freshman — Brittany Greig.

Season outlook: The Cougars have been to the regional final back-to-back years, but lost much of their experience from last year’s club. Dirigo has Wainright, Leuders, Henderson, Olsen and Bradbury returning as starters. The Cougars will have some holes to fill and players stepping into larger roles.
