A Look at the New Additions

Among the newcomers is midfielder Lula Arcila, a Miami native who previously showcased her skills with Florida United SC and Miami Breakers FC, bringing a blend of local experience and competitive drive.

Forward Scarlett Baur arrives from the same city, having earned the distinction of being named the Miami Herald’s Girls Soccer 4A‑2A Player of the Year as a freshman, a testament to her early promise.

Also joining the attack is Bridget Durkin from Evanston, Illinois, who spent three seasons as the leading goal scorer for Chicago FC United, a record that highlights her knack for finding the net.

Midfielder Kamble Paterson from Calgary, Alberta, adds a championship pedigree after securing gold at the Alberta Winter Games, while forward Ella McGee of Monroe, Connecticut, brings a state‑championship pedigree and tournament MVP honors from 2025.

Defender Lauren Sutliffe, hailing from Duxbury, Massachusetts, was part of the 2025 South Shore Select squad that captured the DII MIAA title, and she also features in the roster of FC Stars of Massachusetts.

From across the Atlantic, Chloe Price of Liverpool, England, joins the squad after stints with Liverpool FC and a victory in the Liverpool FA County Cup, adding international experience to the mix.
