Independence’s rebuilding project continues in 2025 as the Blue Devils return five players from last year’s squad that finished 6-6 overall.
“We are a young core group of girls who had the opportunity last year as freshmen to participate in some very challenging tournaments and compete in a conference alongside some excellent teams,” said second-year head coach Mike Gruber. “In our second year, we aim to build on those experiences and start strong from the very beginning.”
Abbey Cottrell, Maddie Krogman, Olivia Krysiak, Marisa Mudra, and Jamie Tresp each gained valuable experience last fall that should help them on the course this season.
“We often reflect that last year was the foundation that set us up for this season,” Gruber said. “As a team, we gained valuable experience navigating tournaments for the first time, competing in conference play, and understanding our individual golf needs and areas for improvement.”
Independence opens the season at Springfield on Monday.
