Outlook:  “We hope to compete for the league title again, but it will be difficult with so many lost players from last year's team. In the end, if we come out of this safely, we work hard, improve everyday, are competitive and have fun, then this season will be a success.  Girls are working really hard every day, and we will need some young players to step up and produce, but there are no frontrunners yet.”
