Strengths/Question Marks: “We have a solid core of seniors that are hungry to make it back to playoffs. Our junior class fills out our starting lineup and our rotation guys. Our biggest question is how we will stack up in an always competitive conference. Every year is so difficult in the SOL Colonial Division. Every game has an impact on your playoff hopes. Can we improve on our underwhelming record in the league the last two seasons? That is our biggest question.”
Outlook: “Our number one goal is to make playoffs. Whatever that takes or looks like, we need to get back into the playoff hunt. We need to improve in our league games and continue to push against our tough non-league schedule. While we know we have lost a lot of talent the past few seasons, we feel like as a team, we have a stronger group that can look to compete with the best teams in our conference.”
