Coach’s Outlook for 2021: “Having lost a strong class to graduation, our biggest challenge will lie in many players across all positions stepping up to lead and compete on a daily basis. We certainly have a ton of individual talent but our greatest strength will still be in our ability to play well and work together as a team. “Today, Together.” is our slogan for the 2021 season and will serve to remind us to take it one day at a time, and focus on what we can accomplish together daily.”

My girls are working hard and getting better every single day. We have a lot of potential and athleticism.”
