Team strengths: We have a lot of returners from last year’s team, which should provide experience. There’s only one thing that beats experience and that’s maturing with experience. 

Team concerns: Lack of depth.

Coach’s comment: We finished the season 3-8, and many of the games were close, but we could not finish. Our emphasis as a program has been to get stronger and learn how to finish.
