Strengths/Question Marks:  We are a strong serving team and play scrappy defense. Our passing consistency and size will be our biggest question marks. One final question mark is how to deal with “the beam” for three straight sets at Pennsbury :-) 

 

Outlook: Playing a season during our current health crisis will be our biggest obstacle. We are hoping to play and we are thrilled to get the opportunity. Our plan was to split our JV and Varsity into two separate teams in order to give more girls the chance to play. We usually practice together, but that won’t be the case this year. So we will be playing everyone during our matches, all 14 girls. During times like this, there are more important things than wins and losses. We feel confident all 14 girls on varsity will contribute and that we will be a tough out for anyone. Just by competing this year and giving the girls the experience, we will have won.”
