Outlook:  “We have several seniors on the team that have been playing with each other for many years now, so they are naturally finding each other on the field and knowing where to put the ball for one another.  The girls are very knowledgeable of the game and their vision of the field helps them to strongly connect with one another.  They create off-ball movement and challenge each other at practice. We have a lot of strong individual players with talent and great stick skills, and together they are practicing build a strong unit on the field.”
