Isabella Caldwell – Catlettsburg, Ky.
 
"Isabella played midfield at Boyd County High School where she scored 7 goals and was credited with 6 assists. Isabella is a box to box midfielder who has the speed to get in behind the opposing defense and can also challenge defenders 1v1."
 
 Ellie Webb – Louisa, Ky.
 
"This Louisa native played all four years at Lawrence County High School and possesses a work rate that is second to none.  She was Lawrence County's leading scorer with 23 goals, averaging 1.6 goals a game but it is her ability to connect and control the attack from the midfield as well as defend. In addition to these attributes, Ellie is an outspoken leader on the field. She joins her older sister Emily Webb as a member of our varsity squad."
 
Lauren Mulkey – Norton, Va.
 
"Lauren comes to us by way of Central High School in Wise, VA. Lauren is a box-to-box midfielder who can deliver a killer cross or take opponents 1v1. Her athleticism helped her high school team find success all four years she played for Central HS."
 
Mylah Caudill – Sydney, Ky.
 
"Mylah is a fun player to watch. She has great breakaway speed to elude defenders and is a very dangerous player in and around the box. Athletic, speedy, and a team player, Mylah will make a great addition to round out our freshmen class."
