Strengths/Question Marks: “We return a nice nucleus of players and look to have some younger talent help fill holes due to graduation.  We are only returning one player on defense (Bella Cartpentier), but look forward to building on last year’s successes.”

Outlook:  “We are very young this year, but have experience throughout the lineup that should help the younger players grow.  This team is looking to grow together throughout the season and to be competitive in a very strong league.  We are going to continue to work hard and get better each and every game.”
