Coach's Quote
"This year's team is by far the most talented group of players we've had over the past three seasons. The team has more depth and athleticism. If players remain healthy and commit to attending practices, the team will be able to compete at a high level and achieve good results for the upcoming season. Kadeja Hughes, one the the team's captain, will play a big role in the success of the team. She has shown a lot maturity thus far. She is a dedicated player who shows strong leadership skills. As Kadeja goes, so does the team. We are looking forward to having a successful season. As long as the players remain healthy we are hopeful to make it into playoffs this year which should earn us a playoff berth. As long as the players remain healthy we are hopeful to make it into the post-season."
