Jaden Terrana

At the club level, Terrana played in the USYS National League with Las Vegas Sports Academy, leading her team to the 2019 Far West Championship.

Hounsome on Terrana:
"Jaden is an explosive and dangerous attacker who looks to run at defenders. She is a talented, exciting player with good balance. Jaden will wear the #9 jersey next year and has all the attributes to score and create goals in the MAAC."



Hannah Freeman
Midfield – Lowville, NY/Lowville

A center midfielder, Freeman was a five-year starter for the Lowville, having joined the team as an eighth grader. She led the Red Raiders to five consecutive Frontier League Championships, leading the team in goal scoring (27) in her senior year.

At the club level, Freeman played in the USYS National League with Syracuse Development Academy, captaining the team to three-consecutive New York State Championships and two appearances in the Regional semifinals.
 
Hounsome on Freeman:
"Hannah is an excellent box-to-box midfielder and natural leader on the field. She has good movement in the midfield, is comfortable with both feet and can score goals. Hannah will wear the #2 jersey as a Bronc and will be a great addition to our midfield unit."



Jennifer Skrumbis
Forward – Long Beach, CA/Long Beach Poly

Hounsome on Skrumbis:
"Jenny is a fast and explosive forward with a great change of pace when running with the ball. She puts defenders on the back foot, and has the ability to break down opponents with her tight dribbling. Jenny will wear the #10 jersey as a Bronc and has the potential to cause a lot of headaches for defenders in the MAAC."
