Coach’s Comments:  

“We’re excited about the talent we have. We have a large senior group, but it is short on varsity experience. We need to get them to compete at a high level very quickly, since our first three games are very tough. And we wouldn’t want to have it any other way.” – Head Coach Chris Beagan
