Final Comments:
This has been a very challenging off season to say the least. We are returning all our starters, except for Gretchen (graduation); however, we have been plagued with injuries. Starting SS (Keira Brogan) tore her ACL; Starting 3B (Anna Aey) broke her elboy; Starting 2B (Addison Wardle) tore her ACL; Starting LF (Giada Pauline) broke her hand; Starting DP (Ashley Rupert) has a floating rib. Crazy but true. Some of the aforementioned players should be able to return, but when and at what capacity is yet to be determined. We have an incoming freshman (Sophia Brogan) that will make an impact. We will still be a talented team and cannot wait to see what the makeup of our team looks like on Day 1.
