Three girls were selected for the first state team: Emily Blaylock (goalie), Masha Shtikel, and Marina Stoermer.

Selected for the second state team were Samantha Taylor and Annika Stenfjord.

Additionally, their coach, Liliya Shtikel, was elected Coach of the Year by her fellow coaches.

Because the team is a non-sanctioned sport, it is allowed to have members from both Shorewood and Shorecrest.  It is sponsored by Shorewood.
