Coach’s Comments:
“Expectations are high coming off last year and we have two of our top two players returning. We’re looking forward to this year, but we have to be a more complete team – we have to be more than one or two players. Last year was a more complete team and we need to improve every day.” – Head Coach Joe Sabella
