Coach’s Comment: “Being newcomers to Division II, our goal is to get better every day, because we know we have a lot of catching up to do. Controlling the little things that we can control [will be key]. Many teams will be bigger and faster than us, so limiting our turnovers, making the most of each possession, and staying out of foul trouble will be the three important keys for us this year.”
