Carlson’s comments: “Our biggest loss (graduation) in experience was up front, but at one time they were inexperienced too. I like our senior leadership. Our juniors and seniors are solid, but we have a lot of young players who can help us a lot. Freshman Caitie Baird is already ranked as a top-five recruit in the nation. Our sectional is much improved and tougher with addition of Roncalli. The biggest key to our season will be the health of our players, staying away from injuries because of the demands of the game.”
