The Minnesota Vixen begin their 21st season of play this year. Last season, the Vixen finished 9-2 with only one regular season loss and the other in the WFA Division II Championship Game. With a new group of players and coaches including first time head coach Ryan McCauley, the Vixen look to expand on 6 seasons with winning records and 7 of the last 10 which also include three division and two conference titles in that time. Will this be the year that the Vixen bring the state of Minnesota a championship? Here is what is in store for the 2019 season.

Last season there were only two teams in the MidWest Division which made an easier path for the Vixen in the play-offs. This season with four teams the Vixen will need to play hard in order for the path to Golden, CO to come through Minnesota. Based on scheduling only the top two teams of each region will make the playoffs before the American Conference Championship game between the best in the Midwest and the best in the Pacific regions.
