The Blazers finished 14-5-3 and finished with the most wins in a single season since 2001. Six Blazers earned All-CCS honors in 2025, headlined by CCS Offensive Player of the Year Emma Antonoplos, whose 13 goals is tied for fourth-most in a single season in Blazer history. Lauren Snell, Reagan Nichols and Lillian Harvey were also named to the conference's first team. Harrell now has five double-digit win seasons in her tenure, surpassing David Dixon (4) with the most in program history. The 2024 campaign as a strong one for Harrell and the Blazers who finished 13-6-1 overall and with a 5-2-1 record in conference play. The 13-win mark ties the Blazers 2023 win total and combines for the most wins across a two-season stretch (26) since 2001-02. The Blazers earned the 3rd seed in the CCS Tournament and finished as the league's tournament runners up. Six Blazers earned All-CCS nods in 2024 as well, headlined by Emma Antonoplos and Hadleigh Watson who were named to the league's First Team. The Blazers have seen a quick turnaround under Harrell in her first six seasons posting five straight winning campaigns and the first double-digit victory seasons (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025) since 2008. The 2023 campaign saw the Blazers land the most wins (13) in over two decades as the Blazers finished 2nd in the Collegiate Conference of the South and earned a host spot in the conference tournament. A strong 2023 season capped off the winningest three-year stretch for the program since 2001-03. In 2022, Harrell helped lead the Blazers to the semifinal of the CCS tournament, the inaugural competition for the budding conference. Despite falling on penalties, the season cemented the consistency of the program and desire to continue building the winning culture.
