Head coach: Keith Sargent

2017 record: 10-6-1 (9-4-1)

Key players: Marielle Arnold, jr., F/MID; Megan Hedrick, sr., DEF; Autumn Mullins, sr., MID; Madisyn Diabo, so., DEF/MID; Madisyn Smith, jr., DEF/MID.

Outlook: There will be a changing of the guard this year with Lauren Hudson and her 70 career goals now at Seattle University. Although they are younger, the Cougars should still be strong at every position thanks to not only the returning varsity players, but a huge, talented freshman class. The competition for playing time should bring out the best in every player.
