 Coach’s Outlook: “We have a great group of girls who are eager to compete at a high level both in and out of the league.  There is a lot of energy and competitive fire on the team, and each individual, no matter if they are an underclassman or upperclassman brings their own set of strengths.  Our senior class has shown great leadership qualities and I am confident in their ability to lead us to where we want to go this year.  I’m looking forward to pushing the team to new heights and seeing all that we accomplish on and off the field.”
