Liberty North
An incredibly strong senior class that is used to winning seasons and being State Championship contenders, Liberty North will be making another run at being the big kids on campus. Their strength comes from their midfield with leaders like Top D2 commit 2025 Seniors Kylie Richardson along with Addison Armstrong and Lexi Whalen playing incredibly well on both sides of the ball and love to take their shots. Connecting to the top we anticipate a heavy weight being placed on another Top D2 commit 2025 Senior forward Berkleigh Salmond to find the back of the net with her speed & tenacity this season.

Staley
A talented senior class for Staley is leading the team this season with Top 2025 Senior D1 commit forward Charlotte Woodward and Top 2025 Senior midfielder Abby Cooley to thread through the middle to find creative finishes and use their speed to wreck backlines. Junior goalkeeper Lexie Hopkins returns to lead the defense along with a strong Sophomore class including Top 2027 Sophomore Zenaida Arnau in midfield who was an absolute standout in her freshman season, as well as Top 2028 Freshman Ella Bears who we anticipate will make an immediate impact this season.
