Strengths: Team speed and athleticism. Experienced core group of returning starters.
Question Marks: Scoring, as our top two goal scorers from last year graduated.
Outlook: “We’re hoping to again contend for the league title and advance further in districts than we did last season. At this point our lineup still has a lot of moving parts. Losing Ashley Paturzo for the season, who I envisioned would be our starting center back, may force us to experiment with different lineups for a while. But we have a strong bench with a lot of flexibility, so hopefully everything falls into place.”
