Strengths/Question Marks: “We are a very young team with only two seniors, and they are learning an entirely new system. Each practice the players work toward becoming a better player and all-around teammate, which is all that the coaches want to see as the season progresses.
“The girls have worked really hard and come together in the off season to rebuild the team. Coaches are happy with the hard work and improvement seen from each player and look forward to the start of the season.”
Outlook: “The program is a work in progress. The team is young and will need to continue to improve by accomplishing one goal at a time. The girls’ attitudes are great, and we will get better as the season continues.”
