In goal, we have returning player, No. 1 Rachel Hall. After becoming the holder of the fifth-place record spot for the most saves in school history, this Boston College graduate brings a lot to the table. This 5’5 Texas native will be representing New England once again as a brick wall in the net.

Defender No. 20, Courtney Taylor, is a 5‘6 left-handed player who was on the Temple team before completing her collegiate career with Boston College. Taylor’s year with BC was eventful as she started every game and accrued 90 draw controls, 32 ground balls and 26 caused turnovers.

Last in the line of jerseys, but certainly not least, is No. 31 Andie Aldave! Producing 162 points in her four years at Notre Dame, Aldave held her spot as a midfielder. But, in her graduate year, she headed to North Carolina, where she switched to attack and scored four goals in North Carolina’s 2022 National Championship victory!
