Outlook: “It has been fun working with this group in the offseason and has given us a preview of the high ceiling that this team has. We will get a huge boost with the return of all-state player Megan Ngo from injury. The addition of Emilia Coleman is immeasurable as a player and leader. Tamia Clark took a big step in becoming a more complete player with a great offseason. Bridget DiMartile returns after a successful freshman year, and Kaitlyn Zacharia will provide consistent shooting off the bench. Ella Morris and Lexi Ngo are two freshman guards who are wise beyond their years and will make immediate impacts on the team. Reaching our highest potential will depend on doing the little things well. The team is aiming to have another strong showing in the postseason and contend for the Suburban One Liberty Division title.”
