Key Players Lost: We lost 8 seniors this year, so we have a huge hole to fill. Some key players were:

Key Returning Players: 1. Senior Brynn Buschta. She played on the Varsity team last year as a setter and had 150 digs, 46 aces, and 48 kills. She was also voted to be on the Colonial League for All-League Second Team.
2. Senior Ella Carson. She played on the Varsity team last year as a defensive specialist and outside hitter. However, she got injured half way through the season and was unable to return. She had 33 kills, 32 digs and 10 aces for the first half of the season.
Key Newcomers:
1. Olivia Slifies (Junior, Middle Hitter and Outside Hitter).
2. Samantha Moss (Junior, Defensive Specialist).
Outlook: We only have 4 returners this year out of the 12 girls on our team. Our off-season training has focused on building unity among the new Varsity squad. My goal is for my players to become a unit and develop teamwork. As always, I want each of my players to develop not only their skills but their character as well. This year I expect our team to do very well. We have many talented players. Now it is just a matter of the group coming together and playing as one unit. This is something that takes time whenever you have a new group of girls playing together.
