Outlook: “While we are still a very young team (only one senior), the core group has a lot of varsity playing experience. We are playing a more challenging non-conference schedule this year which should provide us with the level of competition we need to reach our goal (qualifying for state tournament). Excited to have AJ Avery back after losing her for the second half of the season last year, as well as see the continued development of Kenna Winland, Jos Perez, and Eliza Meersman. We’ll be relying on our multi-sport athletes to give us a lift off the bench and play an exciting, fast-paced style of basketball that has made us a successful program.”
