Strengths/Question Marks: “We graduated three of our starting back four last season, and while we feel confident we have the players to replace them, getting them up to speed and ensuring their communication and chemistry is right is a concern. On the other end of the field, who is going to score goals for us?”
Outlook: “This is the biggest number of girls we have had at tryouts and on our rosters in our five years. We feel like we are very deep at the varsity level, which is good news when you look at the schedule this season. We know it’s always tough in the Patriot Division and adding the Colonial group to our schedule just intensifies that. Our depth should help us push for the playoffs, and if we can stay healthy and get a little luck,y then who knows what can happen.”
