Mikah Farbo
 

Bryn Mawr (5-11 in 2013, 1-9 CC, 11th place)
Head Coach: Beth Riley (Michigan '07), 2nd season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2013 Statistics | Season Preview (8/27)
All-Time Record: 259-440-59 since 1925

Key Losses: Rachael Kahelin, M; Bridget Schuchert, D; Faith Westdorp, GK, .717 SV%.
Preseason Poll Projection: 11th
Outlook:  The Owls will continue to improve in Conference play after registering their first Conference win since 1999 last season.  Bryn Mawr will look to Farbo to lead an experienced backline and will have a strong attack with Arbuckle and Constants, who led the team in points last season, returning to the lineup.  The playoffs may be out of reach this season, but Bryn Mawr will take another step in the right direction this year.

Catherine Perlmutter

Dickinson (12-6 in 2013, 7-3 CC, lost to Ursinus in CC semifinal, 4-1)
Head Coach: Caitlin Williams (Duke '08), 4th season
Team Page | Roster | Schedule | 2013 Statistics
All-Time Record: 301-417-49

Key Returnees: Jenny Davis, So, M, 2-2-12; Merritt Davis, So, D, 1-6-8; Caroline Karwel, Jr, D, 4-2-10; Erica Marshall, So, F, 12-2-26, First Team All-CC; Kendal Packo, So, M, 1-4-6; Catherine Perlmutter, So, F, 12-5-29, First Team All-CC, 2013 CC Rookie of the Year; Natalie Polk, Sr, D, 0-2-2. 
Key Losses: Julia Applegate, M, 4-0-8; Katy Schlechtweg, GK, .750 SV%; Lauren Wyman, F, 1-2-4.
Preseason Poll Projection: 3rd
Outlook: The Red Devils are well-positioned to make a deep run in the playoffs. Last season's freshman class, highlighted by Perlmutter and Marshall, will build on their impressive first-year campaigns. Dickinson is set at all the field positions, but will have to replace Schlechtweg in the net. The Red Devils will be in the mix for the title come tournament time.

Franklin & Marshall (17-2 in 2013, 10-0 CC, lost to Ursinus in CC final, 2-0)
Head Coach: Melissa Mariano (Middlebury '04), 6th season

Preseason Poll Projection: 2nd
Outlook: The Diplomats will look to capture their second Conference title this season. Franklin and Marshall graduated key players Cecere, Koep, and Vincent, but return three All-CC selections. Guarisco, Eastman, and Dalton will power the offense, while Kelly and NFHCA All-America selection Olson will give F & M a solid backline. The Diplomats will be a top contender for the Conference title this season.

Gettysburg (10-6 in 2013, 5-5 CC, 6th place)
Head Coach: Barb Jordan (Penn State '86), 13th season

Outlook: Johns Hopkins returns the core of their lineup for the 2014 season. Lantiere will be the top scoring threat for the Blue Jays and Macmanus will facilitate the offense from the middle.  If Johns Hopkins can replace Henderson on defense, the Blue Jays will make it to the postseason.

Outlook: Muhlenberg hopes to pick up where they left off at the end of last year.  The Mules won six of their last nine regular season games in 2013 to clinch a spot in the playoffs. Muhlenberg will look to make another trip to the postseason in 2014 with Thies, who was named a NFHCA All-American in 2013, leading the offense and Theriault and Lenker steadying the defense.
