Outlook:
“This team has a good mix of returning veterans and up and coming talent.  I truly believe we have the key pieces in place for this group of girls to make some noise this year.  They need to believe in themselves and know they can win.  We talk a lot about being aggressive and making things happen, getting ahead and staying ahead.  We couldn’t ask for a better infield with Brianna Koonce at 3^rd (committed to play at Rider University), Hannah Reimel (Junior) at SS, and Devon Fithian at 1^st (committed to play at Arcadia University).   And then there’s CF Caitlin Mitros (committed to the University of Albany) taking charge of the outfield. There’s almost nothing she can’t get to.  With Mackenzie Clee and Meg Curtis in the circle, we have a great lefty/righty combination that the whole team can rally behind.  And then there’s freshman Bella Demito knocking at the door.  Won’t be long till the rest of the league knows her name.”
