Among other World Cup returners are attacker Danielle Etrasco, midfielders Sarah Bullard, Caitlyn McFadden, Kelly Rabil and Katie Schwarzmann, and defender Jenn Russell. Additionally, nine players from the gold-medal winning 2011 U.S. Women's Under-19 Team will look to earn a spot on the senior team.
LaBeau helped lead Lehigh to its first Patriot League Tournament since 2011, finishing 4-4 in league play which included a big 12-11 double overtime win over Boston University on Apr. 5 to hand the Terriers their first-ever Patriot League defeat. In total, five players earned All-League honors. Lehigh was the only school other than Loyola to earn a major postseason award.
