Outlook – The Hornets return all but one player off of last year’s squad which is coming off one of the best season’s in recent history … Numbers are up in the program with 21/22 players returning … All 3 singles players (Chow/Columbus/Hollinger) all return to the lineup along with two of the top doubles teams (Heilenman/Stuckey & Gougostamos/Carter) … Dragotta, who’s in his second season, says ‘we will be better than last year. I just want the girls to do their best and enjoy the sun and get the exercise. For the first time in my 45 years of coaching tennis, winning is not the main concern given what we’ve all been through.”
