Others to watch:  “As I always say, in a team sport, if you play the game well, everyone should contribute.  Expect to see freshmen to seniors impact our team and its performance.”

Outlook:  “Our biggest goal this year is playing the full 50 minutes.  Although we had a great season, we had some issues giving up leads last year and not playing consistently all game.  So playing 110 percent all game is a focus.  We also lost some key starters and are younger, but our biggest strength and philosophy is that we are not one-dimensional and everyone on our team contributes; this year is no different.  So we plan to be competitive and fight in every game.  Go Lady Bucks!”
