Celina
Division II
Coach: Eric Gerker (first season)
2017 record: 5-9-4
2017 WBL finish: 2-4-3 (eighth)
2017 postseason: Defeated St. Marys 2-1; lost 1-0 to Bath in sectional championship.
Returning letter winners: Mya Lockwood (Sr); Emily Keith (Sr.); Madison Kuehne (Sr.); Reilly Cox (Jr.); Alexa Billger (Jr.); Larisa Orick (Jr.); Sydney Howell (Jr.); Summer Kimmel (Jr.); Natalie Braun (Soph.); Carley Eichler (Soph.); Nicole Fenning (Soph.); Kennedy Henry (Soph., G); Makenna Klingshirn (Soph.); Natalie Shrolocke (Soph.); Sophie Wiley (Soph.): Sydney Lehman (Soph.).

Top prospects: Emily Braun (Sr.); Michaela Lim (Jr.); Chloe Johnsman (Soph.); Emma Homan (Soph.); Emma Minnich (Soph.); Mia Rolfes (Fr.); Harley Harris (Fr.); Zoey Burns (Fr.); Payton Smith (Fr., G).
Team outlook: Eric Gerker, who went 12-4-1 last year as the boys head coach at Ottoville, takes over for longtime Celina coach Cal Freeman. Gerker has 16 veterans back, including first team all-WBL’s Reilly Cox (8 goals). The entire defense returns, including sophomore goalkeeper Kennedy Henry. There are only four seniors on the roster, but the core of sophomores and juniors should be enough to lead the way. There is plenty of experience here, but a key will be coming together around a new coach and a new system.
Elida
Division II
Coach: Elise Jenkins (second season)
2017 record: 13-6
2017 WBL finish: 6-3 (second)
2017 postseason: Defeated Defiance 3-1; defeated Shawnee 1-0; lost to Wapakoneta in 4-2 shootout after 0-0 score at end of regulation in district final

Goalie: Ericka Suever (Soph.), 51 saves, 5 shutouts.
Top prospects: Lacie Moening (Fr.); Rheanna Schomber (Fr.); Morgan Klett (Fr.).
Team outlook: Elise Jenkins, in her first year as head coach, took the Bulldogs to a 13-6 season and the district finals before falling to Wapakoneta. A key loss is second team all-state/first team all-WBL midfielder Jaydon Hollstein. Eight veterans return, including forward Jency Jenkins (first team all-WBL, second team all-district, 15 goals, 9 assists). Also back are midfielder Cienna Kuhn (second team all-WBL, 6 goals, 2 assists) and forward Baylie Moening (second team all-WBL, 2 goals, 24 steals). Forward Bella Wallace (8 goals) and Brooke Reese (5 goals) will also give the offensive a lift. Goalkeeper Ericka Suever (51 saves, 5 shutouts) is back after a strong season as a freshman. A key will be replacing key defenders. Elida has plenty back to contend for the WBL pennant and will look to make another strong run in the tournament.
Kenton
Division II
Coach: Ali Manley
2017 record: 6-6-3
2017 WBL finish: 2-5-2 (ninth)

Team outlook: Chris Podraski returns to take over the Titans and has plenty of experience back. The Titans lost eight lettermen, including third team all-state/first team all-WBL goalkeeper Kadie Hempfling, who is playing basketball at Bowling Green State. Among the returnees are midfielder Kelsey Erford (second team all-WBL) and forward Caitlin Bockrath (third team all-WBL). A new coach means a new system for all the veterans and the rookies. Podraski has been here before and will count on the seniors and the team’s depth.
Shawnee
Division II
Coach: Caroline O’Brien (17th season)
2017 record: 10-5-3
2017 WBL finish: 5-2-2 (third)

Team outlook: Veteran coach Caroline O’Brien has 11 veterans and six starters back from a team that reached the district semifinals before suffering a 1-0 loss to Elida. Key losses to graduation include second team all-state/first team all-WBL defender Alaina Behnke and first team all-WBL forward Bella Fusillo. But a veteran group returns with second team all-WBL defender Madi Mason and third team all-WBL defender Rachel Russ. Also back are goalkeeper Grace O’Connor and playmaking midfielder Sophia Fusillo. The Indians are solid in the back and should be able to attack with multiple threats. O’Brien feels the key will be how the team works on its possession game.
St. Marys
Division II
Coach: Nick Wilson
2017 record: 6-9-1
2017 WBL finish: 4-5 (sixth)

Top prospects: Hayden Lawrence (Soph.).
Team outlook: All coach Mike Foor did in his first year was lead his team to a 19-1 record, a 9-0 WBL title and the regional semifinals before the Redskins fell to Mansfield Madison. Gone from that team is first team all-state/WBL player of the year midfielder Katie Manger. But with 18 lettermen back, nearly everyone else returns. That includes first team all-WBL defender Torie Carter and second team all-WBL forward Emily Ruppert (15 goals, 5 assists) and second team all-WBL Emma Kentner. Also back are Abbigail Ruppert (third team all-WBL, 7 goals, 4 assists), Nicole Richard (third team all-WBL, 3 goals), Drew Peachey (6 goals), Morgan Follin (7 goals) and Madi Lause (12 goals, 16 assists).
