Reighan and Rylan Childers (Grain Valley, MO), Kelsey Mothershead (Smithville,MO), and Lexi Howard (Kearney, MO). Mothershead leads the team in goals with 10 while Rylan Childers and Lexi Walker co-lead the team in assists with nine along with six goals apiece. In net, the team is led by freshman Afton Fennwald (Lake Winnebago, MO) who allows less than a goal a game and has not allowed a goal in the last 210 minutes of play.
