2017-18 Team Previews: 

Superior finished with a 7-14 overall record in 2016-17. The Spartans will have to fill the void left with the graduation of three starters. Dave Kontny takes over as the head coach this season, as the boys' coach at Superior he posted a 157-59 record. Coach Kontny told WSN that they will play extremely hard every possession on defense. " We do not have a lot of returning players so creating continuity and depth is definitely a priority."

Additional players who will contribute are senior Sophie Kintop; juniors Lauren Rabion, Madison Stariha, Emily Hunter, and Jessica Kimmes; and sophomore Niya Wilson.
