Outlook:  “We are very excited to start our season in a new division of SOL called the Freedom, with all new opponents.  As every program is preparing, facing many obstacles, which include player safety plans and Covid-19 restrictions, we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to play games this season. We are especially excited for our senior class, which is the class that came in under the current coaching staff.  So it’s an extra special year!”
