Schneider says they graduated just 1 senior from last year's team. She explains they are still a young team but are growing "out of it" based on the amount of varsity experience the team now has. Schneider says they have gained experience and maturity and are excited to play tonight. The Crusaders beat East Grand Forks in the lone meeting with them this season 2-1 on September 14 in St. Cloud. Schneider says East Grand Forks graduated many key seniors including their goaltender.

Sophomore Amelia Newiger is Cathedral's goal scoring leader this year. Schneider says she used to be their goalie prior to her becoming the head coach. Cathedral's goalie now is Aubrey Lesnau, who came to Cathedral from California. Other key contributors highlighted by Schneider, include Emily Schaupp, Bridget Torberg, Camryn Balfanz, and Natalie Lesnau on defense and Addison Mondloch, Emma Jamison, and Bayley Schneider on offense. Schneider says they are excited to get Nora Simones back from injury as well to add depth.
