Coach’s take: “I love the energy that this team brings into the gym. The way that they have encouraged one another and have built each other up already very early on this season has been a wonderful thing to witness. We have a very talented and passionate group of returners that helped lead us to our Final Four finish last season, and we have a great, versatile and eager group of newcomers. They all will contribute to our team's success this season. Our seniors and upperclassmen have set an example throughout the summer for our younger players to follow and emulate, and now we are excited and ready to see what the 2021 season has in store for this team.”
