Key newcomers: “I have a great group of sophomores that didn’t get a ton of time last year that I’m looking forward to seeing and hoping they can get a lot more time this year,” Velez said.
Strengths of team: “[We are] willing to do whatever it takes to win,” Velez said. “ I’ve had teams that are skilled individually but when we get on the field they weren’t always working together and this group does a really good job at working really hard on the field and doing whatever it takes to win.”
Outlook: “We took a huge jump in conference so we are going to play a much harder schedule than last year,” Velez said. “The girls [and] I have are looking forward to the higher competition and the better conference so I’m hoping we can just compete and fight in every game.”
Coach’s comment: “I hope that people come out and support the team and I hope these girls can get the support they deserve,” Velez said.
