Leading the Way
Fifth-year Head Coach Pedro Trevino named graduate student Juliana Impaglia and junior Ines Varela captains for the 2023 season. It will be Impaglia's second year serving as captain and Varela's first season in the leadership role. 

Who's Back?
Trevino welcomes back 11 returners from a squad that won eight games last seasons. Adriana Goetz-Morales joins Impaglia as five-year members of the program, Elley Torres and Kaitlyn Arias are back for their senior seasons, while Kelle Anwander, Cami Augustine, and Campbell Walker join Varela to make up the junior class. Three sophomores - Maddie Dennis, Doga Emil, and Taylor West - are all in their second seasons with the program. 

The New Crew
Earlier this preseason, Trevino announced five newcomers to the roster. Mariana Cova comes to the squad as a sophomore transfer, while Ashlynn Berns, Olivia Grall, Rowan Schreiber, and Sara Siefert make up the team's freshman class.
