Their only loss of the season came from eventual state champion American Heritage in the state semi final (22-5). The lady Falcons did graduate some terrific players but still have their top players coming in to their senior year for 2024. Players to watch senior midfielder Sienna Cassella (Rutgers University), senior midfielder Ashling Marshall (Bryant University), junior goal keeper Annesley Flint (Florida Southern) and junior midfielder Haley Rosa (Florida Tech). Predicting another trip to the Final Four for this team. Game of interest on 2024 schedule hosting Academy of Holy Names on March 22nd.

Players to watch senior defense/midfielder Reese MacDiarmid (Winthrop University), senior goalkeeper Allie Ragano (Catholic University) and sophomore midfielder Lauren Martinez with 81 draw controls and 46 goals her freshmen season.

The road weary Coyotes eventually lost to Edgewood 19-5 in the regional semi final game. The lady Coyotes will have a hard time replacing top scoring duo 2023’s Avery Smith and Alyssa Russo 139 combined goals. Players to watch for upcoming season senior attack Addison Hellwig (Mars Hill), senior midfielder Ashlynn Hunter (133 draw controls in 2023) and Senior D/M/A Ysabella Carbone (Huntingdon). Games of interest – season opener with district 5 rival Berkeley Prep Feb 13th at home. Rematch of 2023 district 5 final.
  4. St. Pete Catholic – The lady Barons compiled a 14-6 record in 2023 Season. Even though they lost to Cardinal Mooney 15-14 in the district 10 1A semi final, they still qualified for region 3 playoffs as a 5th seed. The lady Barons upset #4 seed Calvary Christian in region 3 quarter-finals 14-13 on the road and eventually faced their district 10 rival St. Stephen’s in region 3 semi-final losing 21-3. The lady Barons are a very young team only graduating a few 2023’s last season. Players to watch Senior Midfielder Jocelyn Smith (Iona). Game of interest – 2/29 hosting St. Stephen’s.
  5. Berkeley Prep – The lady Buccaneers finished with a 9-8 record last season. Losing a close game to district 5 1A rival Cypress Creek in district finals 10-8, they still qualified for region 2 play as a 5th seed. They lost to #4 Bishop Moore 13-8 on the road.
