A-R-C Preview
The Wartburg College Knights return a strong and balanced group in 2025. With key players including Brenna Bodensteiner, Reagan Mulder, Makenna Conrad, Madelyn Bender, and Emma Smock, Wartburg has the depth to compete from top to bottom. Head coach John Thompson believes this is the most competitive roster he has had in his five years at the helm, setting sights on a push toward the conference title.
"This is going to be the most competitive team we've had from 1–7," said Thompson. "We are going to have a young, hungry team. Our goal is to win the conference championship, so we're going to push towards that in a really competitive fall."
