Olivia Bianco. Robbins, an All-Conference selection from two years ago, started in all 18 matches, and logged over 1,500 minutes on the pitch. Bianco, who also saw over 1,000 minutes of action last year, assisted on two goals and helped lead the Saints' defense to three shutout victories.

Natalie Brown, midfielders
LeAnn Phanakhone,
Jolene Kvinsland, and
Jessica Moskowitz. Brown, who scored two goals last year, will be the third highest returning goal scorer in 2019. Moskowitz played in 17 matches for over 900 minutes, scored one goal and was credited for one assist. Phanakhone, and Kvinsland bring over 1,800 minutes of experience in their first season at Saint Martin's last year to the midfield this year.
The Saints bring back senior goalkeeper
Sara Christensen, who made six starts in goal last year. Christensen made 37 saves, including a season-high of nine. In her six matches, Christensen won two, and allowed 1.97 goals per game with a .755 save percentage.
McKnight and Madsen Making Moves – Entering the 2019 season,
Kiersten Madsen and
Shea McKnight have a combined 14 goals, and 32 points. The more impressive note is both players have seven goals, and 17 points each. Currently, Madsen and McKnight are tied for 9th all-time in points scored, and eighth all-time in goals scored in program history.
