Coach’s comments: “Our young girls are going to have to grow quickly because they are a big part of our offense. They have played at a high level, but it will be a journey and a big learning curve. Our experience is in our back row and setting. Our seniors provide leadership and encouragement for the younger players. Our confidence is in our defense. Our front row must develop fast in their blocking. Our returnees know what it feels like to win. This season will be a marathon, not a sprint for us. Our in-season tournaments will help our younger players adjust to the speed of the game. Be assured, Roncalli will get it together.”
