Coach’s Comments: 

“We will be young and inexperienced after losing a large senior class. We have young kids that we will have to get ready quickly. We’ll be competitive this year with some tough kids. We have a bright future with 90 in the program, including 40 freshmen. Our senior and junior classes are smaller comparatively.” – Head Coach Pete Lancetta
