Outlook:  “Our team has worked extremely hard this offseason to overcome both physical and mental challenges, and we could not be prouder. Our team culture has been pretty amazing, and the hustle that our team shows every day is inspiring.  Fortunately, we are cultivating a lot of young talent, in addition to some fresh faces within our varsity squad.  
“We are confident that as we continue to build this year, we will also improve upon last year's record.  As with any team, our goal is playoffs.  We have the most amazing set of girls on both varsity and JV, and we have additional swing players to support our varsity squad along the way. As a new head coach and somewhat fresh coaching staff, we are hopeful for a wonderful season and are extremely optimistic.”
