Bridget DiMartile, Ella Morris, and Lexi Ngo will look to build on strong all-league seasons.
“Ryniah Sharpe will add depth to an already talented roster. This is a team that was able to play together a bunch in the offseason and has become a more cohesive group. Our success will depend on doing the little things well. The team is aiming to have another strong showing in the postseason and contend for the Suburban One Liberty Division title.”
