Strengths/Question Marks: “We have a strong group of players returning in the backfield. We will need to find a way to score goals this year in order to be competitive.” 

Outlook: “The upperclassmen came into preseason motivated and ready to work hard. We have nine returning starters who are eager to get back on the field and play. The girls have been working hard to improve their skills and increase their knowledge of the game. Our strength lies in our defense. This year we are working to be quicker in our transition game as well as more productive on attack. We are looking to score more goals this year and be competitive in the SOL Freedom Division.”
