LETHBRIDGE, AB – The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s soccer team has a new look for this upcoming campaign.

The squad missed the playoffs by only four points last season after scoring a conference low six goals.

A few players have left the team after graduating from the post-secondary institution, but some players are returning.

Raeleen Vanden dungeon, who tied the team lead for goals last season, will be returning. Returning to the team is fifth year player Jesse Dueck, who took last season off.

Lucy Mundy, a midfielder from Foothills FC, joins the Pronghorns for this season.
