Strengths/Question Marks:  “We are very young and inexperienced; at times half of the line-up could be freshmen and sophomores.  Jenna Stover is a seasoned goalie who has been starting since her sophomore year; she should provide stability to our defensive unit. Hannah Young and Kaitlin Suzuki look to be a strong midfield presence.”

Outlook:  “We have a lot of new players this season; with not much off season training, we are looking to get back into form. The girls have learned quickly what working hard is all about. Our goal remains to be league champs, but we need to get better every day and do the little things on and off the field and play as a team to accomplish our goals.”
