2025 OnFocus Season Preview: Stevens Point Panthers Girls Soccer

OnFocus Season Preview

Coaching staff:

Bill Loss (Head Coach)
Jeremy Castleberg, Elyse Batien, Anna Tuuri, Rita Danner (Asst. Coaches)

Key returners:

-->
Amelia Castleberg (1st Team WVC; Hon Men All-State); Anna Braden (Hon Men WVC), Isabella Stevens (Hon Men WVC). Several other players who gained varisty experience last season.

Key newcomers:

Jenna Jones (Forward) and Sophia Smith (Goalkeeper).

Conference outlook:

D.C. Everest remains the team to beat until proven otherwise. Based on talent, Wausau West should also contend.

Keys to your success this season:

We have the ability to put a competitive team on the field. The extent to which we are able to influence and contend in the WVC will depend on how quickly our players progress both technically and tactically. We have several younger players who will be experiencing varisty soccer for the first time and there is an adjustment period that goes along with that. Like everyone else, we also need to stay healthy.

Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?

 The first week and a half has been extremely positive. The girls have been working hard in training sessions and have been very receptive to everything a new coaching staff has thrown at them. Their growth and development over the last eight days has been evident and it is a group that feels like they have something to prove. We are looking forward to the season!
