Â
The USC defense is long in experience with the return of senior Kaleigh Brennan and juniors Olivia Dooley and Danielle Carson. A handful of underclassmen also return on attack as sophomores and juniors; most notably attacker Ella Heaney who had 31 goals and 11 assists in 2021. Senior attacker Finley Ueland is also back coming off a junior campaign where she had nine goals and 10 assists.
Â
The Women of Troy will need to replace Izzy McMahon (52 points) and Maddie McDaniel (149 draw controls, 19 goals) on offense and Riley Hertford (39 ground balls) in goal.
Â
Now in her 10th season at the helm, head coach Lindsey Munday has amassed 110 career victories with the Women of Troy and holds a .692 win percentage.
