Coach’s outlook for 2019 season: “We have a young team but it is being lead by some strong seniors. Our freshman class have all been players for years so it adds some more depth to the bench for varsity. Our two goalies are extremely strong and have not stopped working on their skill. Danielle Santora is going to be our stand out goal scorer but is also someone who will push our other offensive players to score.”
