“I think our senior leadership is very evident all over the field. Our offense is much more fast paced this year and team oriented, many more assists to come,” said Pausewang. “As far as defense goes we are trying new concepts and really want it to be exciting to watch.” Returning alongside the seniors are four returning juniors, including Briana Hetherington who looks to put the ball in the back of the net often after leading her team with a high of 16 goals last season. On the defensive side of the field, the Dogs’ look to leading defenders Ashley Phillips and Taylor Fiehler to get the stops. Fiehler led the team in caused turnovers, and Philips picked up 20 ground balls last season.

Katie Wilbur and Lisa Barnaba return in the cage this year after combining for 146 saves last year, averaging 11.2 saves per game. Two returning sophomores, Holly Cisneros and Marcy Levatino along with eight freshmen look to add energy to the squad and spark some fire for the Dogs’ this season. “I think this freshmen class is really talented, and I’m really proud with the way they have come so quickly into making an impact on the team,” said Pausewang. “I think that Sophia Aragon is going to do a great job on defense, she is already a big vocal leader for us. I think Anjelica Fuccillo has done a great job fitting into our attacking style, she really looks and helps pick up her other teammates with feds.”
