Outlook: “Hudson is returning with one of the highest point totals in the league last season. She will be supported by senior leadership from Osier at forward and Soeffing on defense. Soeffing changed the makeup of the defense last season, dropping our goals against average dramatically after moving to center back. Johnston was a standout player, receiving All-County First Team as an outside back. We are looking to expand her responsibilities as a central midfielder this season. Accorso and Welling are expected to add to our revamped offense. Johnson, Lelis and Stirrup will help solidify our defense.”
