2025 OUTLOOK
While head coach
Katherine Vettori will have to replace all-league performers
Riley Melendez,
Maja Hansson and
Demi Pierre, six starters return from the 2024 squad that went undefeated during the month of October – finishing that stretch with four wins and three ties, including three of the top four point producers:
Sophie Thibeault (7 goals, 2 assists),
Malin Bernt Schöps (4g, 1a) and
Kale'a Perry (2g, 3a). Three other starters, midfielder
Emma Levin and defenders
Brooke Birrell and
Sydney Lindeman, also return.
Towson was picked to finish fourth in the 2025 Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) North Division in the preseason coaches' poll – behind Stony Brook, Monmouth and Hofstra and ahead of Northeastern and Drexel. Starting this season, CAA women's soccer has been separated into two divisions, North and South. Each team will play all teams in its division plus four matches against the other division. The top three teams in each division will qualify for the 2025 CAA Championship.
FRESH FACES
Towson welcomed nine new players this season, five freshman and four transfers: defenders
Gracen Houck, (Morehead State) and
Emma Kirkpatrick (Rhode Island), forward
Luisa Navas Gonzalez (Mount St. Mary's) and midfielder
Emely Rubio (Campbell). The four bring 181 games of collegiate experience from their previous institutions. Rubio and Houck spent the 2025 spring semester with Towson.
