In all the Lady Rams return a large veteran contingent of 13 including seniors Olivia Marsillo, Lily Beal, Ava Achtyl and Abigail Glyshaw; juniors Alayna Kowalski, Violette Streckewald, Casondra Sanney, Dillan Santella and Brooke Zglinicki; sophomores Miley Reiter, Mackenzie Landers, Adella Dukes and Savannah Newton and eighth grader Bella Rhinehart.

Dukes was a second team N-O All-League honoree while Marsillo, Zglinicki and Newton all received Honorable Mention.

The Rady Rams will host Sacred Heart at 4:45 p.m. Thursday in preparation for the N-O home opener against Wilson at 10 a.m. Saturday.
