Butcher will again be joined on the
field this year by assistant coaches
Hunter Garland and Maggie Harma.
“I am excited to see this group hit
the field with 22 players on the ros-
ter,” Butcher said.
“We are looking to build off the
successes we saw last season, and I
anticipate big things for Fall 2024.
That said, we know success doesn’t
just happen and we have to go out
there every day with a target on our
back and work for it.”
The women’s soccer team finished
a record season last year that saw the
squad ranked as high as 18th in the
nation.
The 2023 team won the program’s
first women’s soccer regional cham-
pionship in college history, setting
records for most wins and goals in a
season.
It was also the first time in program
history that the team was nationally
ranked and the first time the team
had ever gone to regionals in two
consecutive years.
The team finished the season with a
9-5-2 conference record and a 13-6-3
record overall.
