Coach's comment: "This team is full of new faces that bring a new, invigorating feeling to our team. We will have great team speed and cohesion. With most players playing the same posi- tion, we will also be able to go deep on our bench during games. As a unit, we are small, with our tallest players topping at (6-foot-3-inches), making rebounding a challenge. However, we will plan and practice to overcome our height."
