    Infielder

    "Erin dominated at the plate garnering the top two accolades as Hitter of the Year and AUSL MVP in the 2025 Regular Season. Her ability to self evaluate and adjust her game plan and approach set her apart in her preparation and it translated into her production at the plate. She quickly became the backbone of the middle of the offensive lineup and played stellar defense in the middle of the field." - General Manager Jenny Dalton-Hill

  • Ana Gold

    Infielder

    "Ana Gold was a breakout rookie star in the 2025 season. She is one of the best defensive players on the field, and made plays at third base from her first pro game. She is one of the top third basemen in the league but has the defensive skill set to play SS as well, giving a lot of versatility on the field. At the plate she quietly carried a .427 OBP and 1.094 OPS and tied for 3rd in HR's, all while playing her first full season in the pro league." - General Manager Dana Sorensen
