Senior Kyleigh Faust: “I’m excited for the season. We’re a great team playing for each other and our focus is just going to be game by game. I feel our backline should be really strong with myself and Jenna back there along with a couple of new players. We communicate so well together and we’re just a strong force.”
Senior Jenna Villeneuve: “We are a really close team and I think we’re going to do pretty well this year. Like Kyleigh said, it’s a one game at time approach and we’re not thinking about the fact that we won states last year. We did lose a number of key players to graduation off of that team, but I do think we will have players that will step up this season and fill in those roles.”
