In addition to eight incoming freshman, SCD is welcoming Alex Sharp, an experienced junior transfer from St. Ursula Academy to strengthen up the Knight's lineup for this season. This high energy team is using strength as a group to push forward in improving their record and rank in the league. These16 young ladies are playing a competitive schedule against some of the most reputable hockey programs in Ohio.

Led by captains senior Jamie Moore, senior Sophie Seidner and junior Alex Sharp, Knight’s hockey girls are building momentum to a great season.
