Final Comments:
This is a team that is returning alot of experienced players. We do not have much height, so we will need to play fast and in transition to take advantage of our athleticism and skill. We will be looking to take that next step this year; last year we showed flashes of being really good, but suffered through some inconsistent play. We will need to draw on our experiences from last year and grow from them.
