Strengths: This year we have an amazing defense. They are so strong, and when they work together, they are unstoppable. They are able to keep their stick in the passing lane and create caused turnovers and help the team get the ball back.

Outlook: “This year we have a young team. We are graduating five seniors who have worked over the years incredibly hard. They have put time and effort into this program, and it has shown. They all have come such a long way and continue to fight each day they are on the field. All five are great leaders on and off the field. They are a great group of girls who will be missed once they graduate. They have shown the younger girls what it means to be a part of a family and an amazing organization. Our defense will continue to be very strong this year. We have great players who are able to keep the other team from scoring. We will also be very athletics. A lot of our players play other sports, so they are always in shape and ready to run. I think we have some key players who will help dominate the field in Mei Mei Cheng, Caroline Hughes and Piper McGinley. These players are going to be the ones to look out for as they are so versatile, you never know where they will be on the field. Our attack does a good job of setting up our plays and driving to goal. Our key attackers are Avery Sullivan, Wren Castor, Emma Warner, Haley Hamsher.”
