Strengths/Question Marks:
The strength of our team is our defense. We return our goalie, our close defense and both of our long stick middies. We are experienced and have depth defensively. We graduated a lot of our offense in Joka, Kelly, Lowery, and Cox. We will need to establish scorers for this year’s team.
Outlook: We have a very senior heavy team this year. We rely on those seniors everyday to help us improve and get focused on our goals. Our number one goal is to get better every day and be playing our best lacrosse in May. We hope to challenge for the league title and qualify for the district playoffs.
