Strengths/Question Marks:   “We are a young team with a lot of speed and desire to improve.  We have a great, experienced GK.  But need our new players to step up and fill new roles left by our graduated class.”

Outlook:  “This team has worked incredibly hard in the offseason to set ourselves up for a successful 2017 season.  We lost a big senior class from 2016, but players have stepped up to fill the gaps.  We are excited to get started and continue to improve throughout the season.”
