Outlook:  “We’re hoping to build upon the success we experienced last season. Obviously, we’re very fortunate to be returning three D1 caliber players. However, we did have six starters graduate, so it may take some time for our team to gel. As always, we’re really emphasizing the team concept. As our less experienced players gain confidence and we improve our ball distribution, we should be very competitive.”
