Coaches Comments: “Coming off a season like last year where we were under .500, our attitudes and work ethic has changed noticeably for the better and it’s a pleasure for me to go to practice and see that hunger, especially with the leadership we have coming back. We will have some good leadership in our returnees in Kaitlin McCarthy, Amy Dolsak and Emily Dolsak in the post. We brought in eight freshmen who are really pushing our upperclassmen for a spot and are going to have an immediate impact. It has been intense, practices have been good and I think that team chemistry is going to be a key from the get go as we prepare for the season. The work ethic that started this summer has definitely continued through now and we’re looking forward to bouncing back (from last year).”
