Stanford's quest for an NCAA three-peat will be especially challenging without the services of Jenna Flynn, Ryann Neushul, Jewel Roemer
and Ella Woodhead. The quartet will miss the season taking a leave of absence while training and competing with the U.S. National Team in
preparation for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Neushul and Roemer are three-time ACWPC All-Americans who combined for 108 goals
and 70 assists in 2023, Flynn is the reigning MPSF Newcomer of the Year and one of four freshmen in school history to score at least 60 goals
in her first season while Woodhead was an MPSF All-Freshman team performer who appeared in all 25 games with 10 goals and nine assists.

That's a lot to miss. I'm sure UCLA and USC are missing a few, as well. Will be tough, though I expect the other girls will step up.

In the fun connection category, though her team got crushed, my daughter did block Ella Woodhead's 5 meter penalty shot in a high school game a couple of years ago. She's also been coached by Jewel's dad and played with Jenna's little sister (who is amazing, even at 14, she was a scoring machine against 18 yr olds).
