Coach: Jess Merrill (third year)

Conference: MVC Class: C

Last year: 7-4-3 regular season.

Returning players: Seniors — Olivia Audet (M), Julie McConnell (M), Madelyn Thomas (D), Danielle Kotow (M), Emma Conrad (F), Celeste Hannum (D); Juniors — Megan Chamberland (D), Corinna Coulton (G), Emily Molino (F), Sarah Spahr (F), Katriona Hajduk (M).

Promising newcomers: Junior — Brianna McClure (F); Freshmen — Moriah Hajduk (M), Katelyn Perkins (F).

Season outlook: The rest of the league gets to see how well the Ramblers have been building at the youth level this season. Led by six solid seniors, this team will feature some of the best young players in the MVC. Coulton in goal may be the best in the league, and Molino was a USA Futures elite player this summer. Katrina Hajduk will lead the midfield as a junior, and is coming off an all-state campaign as a sophomore. The Ramblers could be strong enough to once again create an all-MVC state final as they play the postseason in Class C North.
