Ten Trapper women’s soccer players will make their way back to Powell for the 2022 season, hoping to build on the success of the 2021 season in which a much-improved NWC team advanced to a regional playoff game.
Leading the way for the Trapper returnees will be forward Peyton Roswadovski, who returns to Northwest from Gillette.
Roswadovski was named the Region IX Freshman of the Year last season, after accumulating 15 goals and an assist in her 16 games played.
She registered 45 shots for Northwest, was named to the All-Region IX team and hopes to make the leap to Region IX Player of the Year this upcoming season.
Aspen Newland returns as an experienced defender for the Trappers, after she played and started in all 16 games in 2021.
Newland scored one goal on 12 shots from her defensive position.
Lauren Hiatt will make her way back to the pitch for Northwest in 2022, returning as a midfielder for the Trappers. She played in all 16 games, starting in 14 of them. She registered four goals on 17 shots, including scoring a penalty for the Trappers.
Zoey Bonner makes her return to Powell from Denver, Colorado, after playing in all 16 games while starting in 13 during the 2021 season. She finished with two goals on 10 shots for the Trappers and was named as an honorable mention for Region IX.
Kameron Stitt returns for Northwest coming back for her sophomore season from Torrington. She played in 15 games for the Trappers, starting in six and registering a goal from her midfield role on eight shots.
Quetzalli Penaloza from Evanston will be back in the midfield for Northwest, hoping to make an impact in her second season after playing in 15 games and starting in 11. Penaloza registered 12 shots but was unable to find the back of the net in 2021.
Another Wyoming returnee will be Tymberlynn Crippen, who makes her way to Powell from Worland. She played in 14 games for the Trappers, starting in 13 of them and registering two shots as a defender for Northwest.
Amrey Willoughby comes back in 2022, after playing and starting in 13 games as a defender for the Trappers. Willoughby was an honorable mention for Region IX.
Cheyenna Alvarado returns from Cheyenne for her sophomore season. She played in midfield for the Trappers, playing in 12 games and starting half of them. Alvarado contributed one goal on six shots last season.
Sierra Aars will hope to have a larger impact upon her return from Gillette. She played in five games for the Trappers in 2021.
These Trapper players will join more than 10 new players who were signed throughout the year, hoping to make the jump in 2022 after an improved 2021 campaign.
