2021 OUTLOOK:
“We are excited to get the season going and we look to ride that momentum from the end of the 2020 season. There are a number of positions up for grabs, after a veteran lineup graduated a year ago. It will be fun to see how the 2021 lineup shapes up with a number of talented players coming up to the varsity level. We truly believe that with the makeup of our players on the roster that we can be competitive night in and night out.” Head Coach Derek Anderson
