INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Kentucky Wesleyan Women's Soccer team tallied up 16 points and has been predicted to finish 12th in the G-MAC by the conference coaches.

Reigning champion Ashland picked up 10 of the 12 first place votes en-route to their #1 ranking, while Cedarville grabbed the other two first place votes to take the second spot.

While the loss of the reigning G-MAC Offensive Player of the Year Madisyn Hunt will be a lot, the Panthers aren't without weapons this season. One of the G-MAC's point leaders last season, Chloe Hinchcliffe returns for her third season doning the purple and white. Her sister, Natalie Hinchcliffe, also returns after scoring three goals and tallying four assists last season. Juniors Bree Owen and Ashlyn Payton each started every game last season, combining for nine points on the year. Defenders Madeline Clements and Shelby Taylor return to anchor a solid back line. Maddy McCorkle, Keeley Addington, Aliyah Berry, Kiersten Schuler and Elizabeth Collier each have a good amount of experience and will hold down the fort in the midfield. 

Goalkeepers Reegan Garrity and Elizabeth Burns are back to protect the net, while head coach Jamie Duvall brought in 12 newcomers to help add more depth to the Panthers already strong lineup.
